| 743402 | 2009-02-06 03:45:00 | Try booting with a linux live cd or UBCD4Win and see if you get the same problem Linux live cd (ubuntu) was fine, no problems. Over an hour usage. So now, me think it is either XP itself or with drivers or with SP. So I am gonna do the following and then test it before doing the next one ... 1) XP itself. 2) Install drivers if allow me. 3) Add SP1. 4) Add SP2. 5) Add SP3. |

| 743403 | 2009-02-06 03:48:00 | I doubt XP or the service packs are the prob Since none of them will install drivers for it ( and the monitor probably doesnt need drivers) |

| 743404 | 2009-02-06 06:24:00 | Follow up: I installed WinXP - no issues. I didn't install any SP. I installed Nvidia and ASUS drivers - ASUS GeForce 9600GT That garbled my screen and unswitchable from 800x600 4 bit color. I downloaded the latest driver off nvidia.com and installed. It fixed the garbled issue. Then immediately the screen started disconnecting and reconnecting. So is it a faulty card, the drivers cannot be faulty, I mean everyone uses them, not just from the GF 9 series family. Nvidia drivers generally are cross platform. Should I just return the card and get a ATI ?? Thanks. |

| 743405 | 2009-02-06 06:26:00 | I tried to install ASUS driver but not Nvidia to break it down futher but it didn't allow me, ASUS, I could either tickbox either both or nil to both. Nvidia didn't provide any option at all. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 743406 | 2009-02-06 06:31:00 | Follow up: I installed Nvidia and ASUS drivers - ASUS GeForce 9600GT So, you installed 2 lots of videocard drivers? Bad idea. You should only install 1 |

| 743407 | 2009-02-06 06:36:00 | No I mean, when you put the ASUS CD in it ... a tree diagram opens up. On top is ASUS and a sub tree is NVIDIA. You can only install both or neither both. You cannot select one and not the other. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 743408 | 2009-02-06 06:39:00 | Since it sounds like you've just installed XP, did you install the chipset drivers before anything else? If its got no SP on it now, I wouldnt put it on the net, youre asking for trouble |

| 743409 | 2009-02-06 06:43:00 | I am using a laptop now .... I just installed XP. No SP installed. No chipset installed. I tried but it won't go. Maybe that I needed a SP. |

| 743410 | 2009-02-06 06:47:00 | What did it say, when you tried to install the chipset drivers?? Because things can go wonky / wont work properly until you install them |

| 743411 | 2009-02-06 06:50:00 | It just said cannot access this setup.exe file. And it just stood there. What I gonna do now, I just uninstalled nvidia and the video driver under systems properties - video card. I am gonna install SP2 as documents recommend, then I gonna install the chipset. And then the latest nvidia driver (not from ASUS). I will report back. |
