Did you uninstall the old drivers? Try that if you haven't.

Do You Mean The Drivers For The GTX-460?

Do you even see the BIOS screen when you boot up? Because if you don't even see the BIOS screen, it's not the drivers that are acting up.

Go into the BIOS and activate the integrated GPU. Then boot to windows and uninstall the GTX 460 drivers. After that, install the drivers for the 9500GT. After you have installed the 9500GT turn off the integrated GPU and you should be good to go.

Hope it works.

If you don't see the BIOS, drivers/software can be completely eliminated as the source of your problem. I suggest you do what Hostile says.

BTW, if you do not have any integrated graphics, install the 9500GT driver and then uninstall the GTX 460 drivers. Then pop in the 9500gt.

I would try what I said. The 9500GT and the GTX 460 run on different drivers I think. (almost sure) Download the latest 9500GT drivers. If the latest ones do not work, try using the disk. http://device-driver.org/topic/nvidia-drivers.php?tid=b...
