Nvidia GT 610 card problem ?

HATEMYDELL · Mar 20, 2014

HI,This is my problem,i had to replace my
MOBO in my DELL E521.
Next i installed WIN 7 OS,after replacing MOBO everything seems to work,but when i ran Speecy to see if everything had stayed the same found out my GT 610 video card did not show up,pulled card and re-installed it still not showing up.
If i have to replace it what would be the best and cheapest to but.
Here are my PC specs.
DELL E521,3.01 CPU,4GB'S RAM,WIN 7 64 BIT PREMIUM,NO GAMER CARD.
I looked at card and there is a small amount gold colored contact missing from card contacts.

try this instead:
1. Press Win button+R
2. Type dxdiag in textbox of run dialog box
3. Check for your GPU in the opened window

Have you installed the drivers for the GT610?

HI,Thats one of first things i tried,but i had one hellva time even finding my video card anywhere and i think that is what my problem is, as it does not even show up in device manager.
Went to Nvidia web site Nvidia.com,and i was mistakenly under the impression that the on board card would be automatically over ridden,do you have site that works,thank's

HI, Well i cheated and dug out my box that the video card came in and went to their web site and now my video card shows up in device manager,you
know some of the things that go wrong with PC'S appear to be simple and stupid stuff.

HATEMYDELL :

has your problem been resolved?

HATEMYDELL · Mar 20, 2014

HI,brarboy, Yes it looks like i may have winner,my PC was shut down and when i pushed the start button FIREFOX came on in few seconds have not tried with I.E. yet,but it usually took quite awhile to come up.
One thing i have not done yet is to go into setup and change boot order and see if my other HDD is still working.

HATEMYDELL :

are you using both the hdd same time or 1 at a time? Yet your story about firefox has confused me, what exactly are you trying to tell there?

HATEMYDELL · Mar 21, 2014

HI,brarboy,I am using new HDD with WIN 7 on it,i just thought there was a way to switch between them without having to go into setup to change boot order.
I checked start up time with IE and it to was starting up faster then before.
Went into setup and changed boot order and old HDD still works,now all i have to do is transfer whats on old HDD to new HDD just have to go into manual for
WD external HDD and see how they download whats on X-HDD,you know the old saying when in doubt read the directions.

brarboy · Mar 24, 2014

are you using Windows 7 in both the hdd? If yes, then why?

HATEMYDELL · Mar 27, 2014

NO,I am using WINXP in old HDD and WIN 7 in new HDD.
like i said i dug out the box it came in and went to their web site and re-installed the GT610 drivers so now it is working
