I'm installing a NVIDIA Geforce fx AGP 8X and a 512MB memory card. Can they be installed at the same time or separately?
|
|
Yea... I don't know why they couldn't be.
Just remember to install the drivers for your Vid Card |
|
512mb of RAM? If so there's no problem just follow the above advice. |
|
|
Well, the manual for your mother board will probably say to only make hardware changes one device at a time, but in reality with modern motherboards you won't have a problem.
The last several computers I've built I installed all my peripherals (nics, video, sound, printers) the first time around and my first bootup had everything plugged in. Haven't had an issued doing this since my old Pentium 1. |

Yes, you can install both at the same time. Put the RAM in the slots provided for the memory, and put the vid card in the AGP slot, boot it up, install the vid card drivers according to the supplied directions and your done. Now you can enjoy DOOM3 in all of its spendid glory.

Houston, we have a problem
I have this problem and when i looked in the BIOS this option "Assign IRQ to VGA" is not listed. WTF? Nvidia's website help sucks |
|

If you're old video card was in the AGP slot the IRQ should have already been assigned to the slot. Check to see the card is plugged into the connector correctly. If it is, I'd question the card itself. Also what's your operating system? 2000 and xp would detech and load a driver automatically once the card is working with the motherboard. RAM needs nothing unless it's more than the motherboard capacity. Otherwise it's plug in and run.
--RR PS. if you're still messing with the BIOS you can usually find IRQ assigments under the PCI devices subheading. Then auto/manual assign IRQs. Of course it depends on the BIOS/motherboard |
|
XP and i double checked the connection
in the BIOS there is an AUTO/MANUAL does it need to be AUTO? |
|
I'm logging off. have things to do, but if it helps. I'm running XP and my IRQ assigning is set to AUTO. Works great.
Also, I ran 1,024mg of ram for awhile but found MY system (P4 2gig) runs better with only 512... go figure. Good luck! --RR |

Does your motherboard have an on board video card?
If so, disable it in BIOS. Remove the drivers for your current (and any) video cards. What make of motherboard? How old? What BIOS? Some P4 motherboards won't work with non-matched memory sticks and will run slower. Some motherboards / BIOS combos won't work with 1 gig of memory. You might need to download the latest BIOS and flash your motherboard. |

Error 10 means your computer cannot locate any video card. The only *simple* issue is if the card is not properly seated, or if it is dead from the factory (unlikely). It's very possible that your new video card requires significantly more power than your old one did. The larger the fans and heat sinks on it, the more power it is typically using. The problem is that most computers are shipped with cheapie power supplies that are just barely powerful enough to power the components it shipped with. Add anything that requires more power, and the computer will fail. The solution is to buy a *good*, higher-rated power supply. I recommend Antec TruePower PSs, as they are among the only power supplies that actually put out the rated power, and they are built using high-quality components that will last a long time. I would be looking in the 400-450W range. -Troy |

The normal one should be OK to boot unless you really have some bullshit powersupply.

we need more system info...btw, SOME nvidia cards are very persnickity about getting rid of the old drivers. A buddy had replaces a GeForece 3 w/ a 5600...and we couldn't get decent performance out of it 'til we reformatted the hd and started from scratch. Even detonator destroyer (a program which is supposed to remove all traces of the previous drivers) didn't work.
Now, the fact that you're seeing anything at ALL means the video card works...so it's obviously a configuration problem. Let us know the rest of your sytem specs. Aren't computers FUN??? |
|
This isn't an OS issue; he's getting an Error 10 in the BIOS at bootup, which means the HARDWARE on the motherboard isn't detecting a video card. It wouldn't matter if he was running DOS 3.3 or Solaris; he's having a hardware issue. -Troy |
|
|
this is my original system configuration. the card is working it is only the video capture that will not work, that is whats giving the code 10 after i try to install video capture drivers
|
|
|
Ahhh....Screwy video card capture problems will drive you crazy.
Download the latest drivers for the video card, download Windows Media Player 9.0, make sure that your input is selected correctly - NTSC, and make sure that you are using the correct video input type.
|
|
|
I got the latest drivers and i already have Media 9 and there is no selection for input types when installing i |

i think i may just put the old one back in I'm just about tired of this shit. Nvidia's tech help is about as useful as tits on a boar hog

Gfxjunkie03-30-2004, 04:14 PM Just started to get this error; "NVIDIA WDM Video Capture (Universal) drivers Error Code 10" Ive tried to reinstall all video related drivers, i tried the asus, nvidia, and omega drivers. nothing seems to fix it. I checked the bios for any changes and it looks like everything is in order. I seem to see alot of people on google with this problem, but no one addresses it. Anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks in advanced! VoOdoO03-31-2004, 06:11 AM I see this 'error' come up at least once every 6 months from someone, and 9 times out of 10, its because they have updated the gfx driver and either not updated the wdm driver or an update for the wdm doesn't exist yet. Try going back a few driver releases and see if that helps if you can't get it going with a reload. |
|
Also, do you have the complete program suite that came with the video card installed on your computer?
|
|
Thanks, I'll try that if it dont work this bitch is coming out |
|
|
yes, why |
