n9400GT Compatibility

[MrBlobby]

Is my Nvidia n9400GT graphics going to work with my mobo http://www.asrock.com/mb/vga.asp?Model=775Dual-VSTA&s=775

I think not but you lot said yes, and tech support of whom I bought it from said yes too

Well that board has a VIA chipset, some of which couldn't handle PCI-E 2.0 cards. It MAY work. I stress MAY.

 

[MrBlobby]

It doesn't work. My computer won't load windows now, even though Ive put the old graphics card back in, and it won't log on to windows with the recovery console

any suggestions?

Safe Mode? Sounds like it might out of range. Can you see the BIOS POST at startup? If so, try running Safe Mode.

 

[MrBlobby]

bios post yes safemode no , what does out of range mean ?

 

[Ph4lanx]

Out of range means that the resolution set is higher or not compatible with the screen/graphics card/both. If the screen is showing a POST, then it's neither the screen nor the graphics card with the problem. It will be the OS, hence if you load into Safe Mode, you should be able to reset the resolution.

What happens when you try to load Safe Mode?
