ITS A 8400, error in title!
Okay, i recently purchased a PNY Verto GeForce 8400 PCI with 512MB memory and it will not boot up on start. I have installed the latest Nvidia graphics drivers. While trouble shooting myself, I uninstalled those drivers and used several other versions as well a PNY drivers CD. The Microsoft drivers list tells me that I have the proper driver and that the device is functioning properly but whenever i restart my PC with my cable plugged into the 8600 it just has a black screen. After a few moments I hear the log on sounds for my PC so I know that it is an issue with the card itself.
Note: I am currently running a XFX GeForce 7300 LE perfectly so the drivers should be good.
I have tried it on 2 computers and neither computer had the card boot at all.
I have submitted a message to PNY support about getting a replacement or a refund based on my 1 year warranty but they have failed to contact me in return after several weeks, so I have lost all faith in them and I hope that the card will at least function as I have heard of others with the same issue as me.
Current Computer Specs:
Dell Inspiron 546
Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD Sempron LE-1300 at 2.3GHz
RAM: 2.00GB
Current Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 7300 LE 256MB
