A few days ago, I bought a GeForce 6200 (for playing old games). My motherboard is MSI MS-6566E with single AGP4x bus, and my power supply produces 350 W total. GF 6200 requires AGP8x (just like my old card - GF 4200 Ti - plugged into the same motherboard) and 200 W, so neither of these requirements seem to be the problem. I got new drivers installed (307.83), but to no avail.
If I try to boot the computer normally, the screen will go into standby mode after login screen (and sometimes the login screen even will not display) and never responds. Also, when booting with my old card I used to get info about that GPU at the very first screen. No such screen with the new GPU. I am forced to use the "last good settings" option via F8 menu. In this mode, the computer tells me constantly (practically every boot), that it found a new "Video Controller (VGA compatible)". Sometimes, after a long enough time, the Device Manager will say it detects GF 6200 with new drivers - and sometimes, but rebooting in normal mode never gets me past login. Other times I can update the Video Controller with 307.83 drivers, at which point the computer also detects my new card, but still at reboot there is no display after login.
I have read about updating BIOS as a potential solution, but I dread doing something so risky and complicated, and I think it should not change anything in my situation, with such an old GPU.
Any help?
