Hi,
I just bought a Geforce 4 MX440 with 64Megs RAM, but when I install it and power up the machine, nothing is displayed but I can hear the computer loading up.
I have a PIII 1Ghz on a Jetway 618 motherboard, which uses the Intel 815 chipset as the standard graphics adaptor. Its an AGP card in an AGP 2.0 slot so I cant see the problem being there. The monitor isnt new but I doubt its old enough to be a problem with the card. I also have an old Voodoo2 in the machine, but taking that out or uninstalling the drivers seems to make no difference.
Is there any way to switch from using the Intel adaptor to the card from within windows? I read that there might be an option in my BIOS to switch from PCI (or in this case the motherboard) to the AGO slot. Problem is theres a password on my BIOS and I dont know it, hell im pretty sure I didnt even set it. I blame the guys who made the pc. Ive also read that theres problems transferring over from the old voodoo card to newer ones, but the voodoo 2 was only an accelerator it never did 2D. Im reluctant to erase my hard drive as theres a lot of important stuff on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
David
