My previous question had to do with a HIS 4670 card that would not allow my computer to boot. I found out from HIS that they had had issues with my motherboard and since I had already upgraded my bios, which would have been their recommended fix, I was out of luck on this combination. I returned the card. Thanks for the replies.
Now for my real problem...I downgraded to a Radeon 3600 AGP card which was recommended based on the motherboard in my Dell 4600 series computer. 2.6g CPU Intel Pentium 4 single core, 2g RAM, 580w power supply with 25a at the 12v rails, plenty of hard drive space.
Originally the installation went fine. I started in safe mode, used driver sweeper to clean out previous drivers, rebooted and let windows find the new hardware, cancelled the wizard and installed from the cd. The card installed itself with the cd that came with it and the results were acceptable. I have a dual monitor set up and that was working great. The resolution on the DVI and VGA Monitors were superb. However, after rebooting after some unrelated item, the card "won't start" (Code 10). I went through all the recommended procedures...updated drivers, etc. but no luck. I'm almost convinced it is not a driver problem because I had another card in, prior to the HSI, that experienced the same problem. "won't start" (Code 10). Could there be something in the registry that is causing this problem or...........???
I know there's some sharp minds out there so I'm hoping one of them knows what to do. Thanks for any help...
