Windows Vista Vista wont pick up graphics card!

[Rusty149]

Hi
Built my comp last night and installed vista all went very well apart from 1 thing, it wont pick up my graphics card! And when i install the drivers for it, it then asks to restart which is fine gets to the loading bar loads and then just a blank screen comes up! So i switch it off and then start windows in last known good condition and it boots up fine! But still with the same issue of saying im iseing a standard VGA Adapter! Which 1GB of Nvidia board is not! lol anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Rusty

Press Del on the keyboard then disbale onboard VGA if that does not work then turn change to PCIE.

Hi,

I have just had a quick look on my pc and its under advanced bios features then init display frist. It can also be under advanced chipset features aswel once at the init display chnage it to either PCIE or auto.

That shold fix it.

Ok try and change it to PEG and see if that works, Did you remove your old drivers frist? What motherboard do you have in your pc?


Thanks,
