Hmm... Here are some questions that came into my head upon reading your problem:

Prehaps the 9600 doesnt work on your system? Are you sure you've installed it right? Prehaps you need to reinstall the drivers some way? Did you touch/change any hardware specs accidentally? Did you plug something in wrong? Are you sure you installed the card right?

Prehaps one of these questions can be answered with a 'no'.

ya, I'd uninstall your old drivers, then just have a standard VGA driver. Then try the card.

Can you even see the bios screen or anything prior to bootup, or is it black screen all the time?

I get the bios screen but it reboots when it goes to start windows I have uninstalled the old drivers same thing. I have also updated all my bios and agp drivers I'm so confused and PO at the same time.

Well this may sound simple (no pun intended)

I purchased a vid card one time and I could not get it to work. Did just about everything I could think of, reinstalled at least 3 times updated eveything I could called support did everything they suggested and nothing. Ended up taking the card to the local comp store had it tested and it was a bad card

, exchanged and bam first time I installed it worked

Well it looks like MSI is Nividia based I'm wondering if I should go and get a vividia card instead

I don't know I just want a better card than I have which is not hard it's a ATI 7200 32meg PCI Card

Go into your bios and make sure fast writes are turned off. I know sometimes that can cause issues.

Uh I don't see anything that says fast writes

There are a few bios updates you could do. Otherwise im not sure. Sounds like a driver problem getting into windows.

Can you get into safe mode with the card or does it crash then also?

Simpleman · Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2004 10:00 pm Post subject:

Yeah no matter what I do it crashes I have done all the updates and still no worky I wonder if I got a bad card. I'm going to go down and exchange it and see if thats not it then I guess i'm stuck with what I got.
