| 49226 | 2002-05-16 23:11:00 | my brothers comp is a Hewlett Packard pavillion pentium III intel celeron cpu. It has been upraded from 64 to 128 ram and a new graphics card (riva tnt2)with 32 megs memory. The 1st prob is that while playing 'Unreal Tournament,G.O.T.Y.E.' that everytime the player gets hit or killed the screen goes black. Any ideas?. prob 2 is with turning on the comp. I push the on off button and everything starts to load etc..then the HP splash screen loads and that is it... everything hangs, now press the on/off button again to turn it off and then quickly push it a third time and the comp starts up no probs. Does anyone know whats happening?. my names mud cause I talked him into this upgrade and now theres nothing but probs etc. many thanks, I hope this post does not get 'Lost in Space' like the others:-))) |

| 49227 | 2002-05-16 23:58:00 | did you uninstall the old vid driver before you installed new card? do you have onboard graphics? which mode are you running unreal in...directX or openGL? which drivers and which ver of directX are you running? not to sure about the computer hanging but if the vid drivers didn't install correctly it could cause that. |

If this is the case you will need to disable the onboard graphics, maybe a jumper on the motherboard (most likely) or a setting in the bios. It could also be a ram problem, as i have had problems upgrading ram in HP pavillion due to the fact that they have shared video ram - the onboard graphics card uses the main memory instead of having its own memory like a separate graphics card does.. | Guest (0) | ||
| 49230 | 2002-05-19 23:39:00 | thanks for that Dave, Im pretty sure the onboard graphics has been disabled, but I have read that the drivers that come with the card are sometimes not that great, and even buggy. So 1st im gonna get the latest ver of direct x and then see about getting the latest drivers for the new graphics card and see how that goes. thanks for your suggestions. Gary |
