I put together a custom computer using this motherboard Gigabyte (GA-880GA-UD3H). I recently purchased a EVGA GeForce GTX 460 FTW 1024MB EE (External Exhaust). Running Windows 7 - 32bit. 8 GB of RAM
I'm having issues with this card.
1) I tried updating drivers and it keeps hanging
2) I can't play any video thru Windows Media Player
3) The system hangs when Windows tries to shut down ("Shutting down....") - could hang there for hours. I have to manually shut it off myself
The whole system has acted weird ever since I put in this card. I have not altered any settings on the motherboard. Everything is set on automatic as far as settings are concerned in the BIOS.
I have read horror stories about this video card and believe its the cause of the problem. But I don't want to start mucking around with settings on the motherboard until I know whether it can be fixed.
Windows runs fine otherwise so long I don't do any video playback or anything video related.
Please help... If you need more info. Please ask... I can use all the help I can get.
