My gigabyte 6600GT can not be installed into my computer

hi i just got a new gigabyte 6600gt, and i tried to install it, but i keep geting error that the driver can not dictect the correct hardware setting, that i should close the installation, and i also get NVUCLOCKINIT FAILED

i have Asrock p4vm8 motherboard
3.0 prescott cpu

 

errm, what power supply do you have?
also, did you plug the additional power connector into the card, there should be a socket for it on the card, a 4 pin molex socket

 

i have a 450W power supply and there is a 4 pin power connector on the card, still it won't work

 

errm, do you know the brand for your power supply?
i think maybe you need to either do a fresh install of windows, maybe your card is faulty, or try latest drivers from nvidia.you

your problem seems to be more like a software problem, maybe someone else can offer some help on this

 

Which drivers are you using to install? Make sure you have the latest ones.

 

k, don't really know the brand of my power supply, i don't think the card is faulty, becoase i just bought it today, do you thin it might be my motherboard or my operation system?

 

what graphics card were you using before?
did you uninstall the old graphics cards drivers?

 

i was using geforce4 mx440, but didn't uninstall the driver, but i did laster on, but 6600gt didn't work

 

i did later on

 

do you think it might be the problem?

 

errm, i would remove all evidenve of graphics drivers from your hard drive.
go to my computer, then the drive the drivers are installed in, program files, and looks for the driver folders, then delete the folder, or if there sort of installed, uninstall those graphics drivers frist,. then restart computer, then go and delete the graphics driver folders if there still in there, then try to install the drivers again.

example loaction of folder (MY COMPUTER/C:/PROGRAM FILES/NVIDIA DISPLAY DRIVERS) i aint sure on the name of the folder, i havent had nvidia drivers in a long time.

to uninstall drivers and other thigns from your computer, go to the following.
Start/control panel/add or remove programs.

you dont have intergrated graphics on your motherboard do you?

try reinstalling all your motherboard drivers aswell, do you have a cd that came with your motherboard?


dont post one post after another plz, use the edit function to edit your post

 

i will install them now

 

oh ya, when i insert the card into my system, i can't find any display adampters on device manager

 

you need to install the graphics drivers first

 

k

 

it works, thanks

 

i uninstalled all driver from my old graphics card, then reinstalled all drivers for my motherborad, before i restarted my system, i installed my new graphics card software, the i restarted, it came up that i found a new hardware, the i just installed the new software again then restarted, it work fine now
