| 748954 | 2009-02-18 05:42:00 | Hi Vista Premium, M2NPV-MX mobo. Dual core 4200 Problem is vista will not recognize the en8600gt silent card. Have tried : Uninstall drivers of the onboard graphics. Uninstall from device manager. ccleaner.... restart with card installed and only blank screen. I can hear it boots to windows though I can't see anything. I had this problem some time ago when I first bought the card and managed to find the solution, but I must have forgotten. I struggled and struggled that time too. I thought: uninstall and restart with new card in was the solution but no. Of course each time it fails to go, I have to power down and swap video cable back to onboard. Anyone had this? What can I try next? |

| 748956 | 2009-02-18 06:08:00 | did you install the drivers that came with the card? | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 748957 | 2009-02-18 06:22:00 | did you install the drivers that came with the card? No, not this time at least...but it has been installed on this PC for 12months or more. Worked perfectly for that time. Should I try installing drivers before attempting to restart with monitor cable connected to 8600gt card? |

| 748959 | 2009-02-18 07:05:00 | Ok...so I tried installing drivers, but it gave me the re-around for half an hour. It created a number of problems of its' own. As it is I had to install the drivers before the card was connected to the monitor, otherwise I can't see anything. So correct me if I'm wrong but the card needs to be recognized first, then drivers can be installed. So it's still the same...onboard video works.....PCI-E doesnt and isnt found by windows. Any ideas?? |

| 748960 | 2009-02-18 07:07:00 | Did you read the link to the forum (about this mobo), I posted? Did you install the chipset drivers before everything else? Whats showing a ? or ! or X in device manager? Does the card need power? |

| 748961 | 2009-02-18 07:30:00 | Tried disabling onboard in the BIOS first? Or at least changing the search order to PCIE 1st - then Onboard. | pctek (84) | ||
| 748962 | 2009-02-18 07:49:00 | Yes, read the forum....looks like trouble. Certainly isnt plug and play.....more like plug and pray. Chipset drivers were as they've been the last year or so. It's not showing in device manager....only the onboard Nvidia 6150 is there. Card doesnt need power, unlike some of the other ones I've seen. It hasnt had power to it for the time I've been using it either (12+months or so. I should have documented what I did last time to fix this same problem. |

| 748963 | 2009-02-18 08:53:00 | If it was running ok previously, what happened that caused it to stop working. It hasn't died has it? |
