Apart from the older cards the tweak'e mentioned these are the only newer cards that have this problem. Have you tried the likes of a GF 2 in there?	Guest (0)
53268	2002-06-09 02:38:00	are you sure thats the right model number as compaq don't have anything under that model number. what is the standard video card it came out with? i know there is a small glitch with geforce4 440's but if a g3 won't go...mmmmmmm??? i wonder if the motherboard can't supply enough currant hence a voltage drop or mayby even the powersupply is to small to handle it. supermarket pc's usualy come out with minimal power supply's. edit: well blow me over with a feather just found that pc on their site. werid their own search engine can't find their own models and its only a fluke i found the right page. try a 350watt power supply. your pc only has a itsi bitsy 235watt powersupply.

Geforce 3 would not run either, get as far as asking for installation cd, then start to copy files & stops, saying `data invalid`tried latest drivers of the net but no good.	Guest (0)
