FX5200plus PCI(problem)

RibekeiHiruto · Oct 22, 2004, 06:02 AM

Hi, my name is RibekeiHiruto.

Well, I upgraded my compaq presario 5012US with an extra 128mb PC-133 ram with a new FX5200plus PCI. Every since the upgrade I can't play games. If I do, it freezes and re-boots. Hell, even when I don't it freezes and re-boots. I downloaded a new Nvidia driver and it still didn't help. When I play Quake 3 it doesn't work. So, can you guys help me?

Specs:OS-Microsoft ME, RAm-127,Graphics Intergrated, 40bg HD

New Specs-ME, 255mb, FX5200plus PCI, 40bg HD

i found this for a bit of a breakdown in your specs http://pcmag.shopping.com/xPF-Compaq...2US_470010_768 and found this link on your video http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...04&cm_pla=site ok this is what i would sugest 1st run driver cleaner http://www.hardwareheaven.com/cleaner/ read the instructions, 2nd on reboot go into your bios and turn off your onboard video and change it to pci . 3rd reinstall your video drivers for your new card. i did see the minimum psu for that card is a 250 watt you may need some more power if all else fails. and welcome to dh

"2nd on reboot go into your bios and turn off your onboard video and change it to pci ."

Sorry, but I don't know how to do that.

So, how do I do that?

Ok, I rebooted my computer(By pressing CTRL+ALT+Esc), then it showed something with the language selection. After I my me pick A: or something else. Everytime I picked one it doesn't do anything. Now my screen is big and I have to download a driver again. Did I do something wrong?
