I am helping out a friend with a computer problem, so I thought I'd post it up here:
Hello,
I just assembled a new machine and I'm having difficulty getting my video card drivers installed. I have an EVGA GTX280 in a EVGA 790i FTW Edition (the link does not say its the FTW edition but thats what the box and MOBO themselves say, and its what I ordered). My other components are A single 2GB stick of OZC DDR3 (the timings and voltages are set correctly) And a Intel Q9550.
My problem is that I cannot install the video card drivers successfully. I will be able to run the installation wizard and complete it but once Vista restarts all i get is a blank screen and the monitor goes into power save mode like its not getting any single from the card. I have tried the drivers from the included CD and the newest drivers from the EVGA website and none will work.
I have to hold down the power button to get the system to power back up and when it boots I I get the list of boot options when Vista fails to load correctly, and I must pick restore my computer to the previous state, where the drivers are no longer installed.
I am running Vista 64 bit Business Edition and the BIOS on the MOBO have been updated from the EVGA website. If you need anymore information please let me know. < B R>
Thank you!
Thats his post on another forum.
Do you guys have any ideas?
Bad card maybe?
