Hi;
I've been having an ongoing issue with my workstation which seems
unresolvable.
When I start the computer from cold, most of the time the video card doesn't
launch (Code 10), and the device manager shows a warning that the driver
isn't installed properly.
Uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it (usually several times) will
finally allow the machine to start normally, but then I have to go through
the whole procedure again when I do a cold restart, such as after a software
update.
We did a clean reinstall of Windows, as the problem started right after
installing Norton Antivirus and several people thought that this was the
only way to rid myself of the problem.
Anyway, I am starting to think that the card itself is at fault and so am
looking at replacing it.
My motherboard is an Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe (Socket AM2) which is using an
Nvidea chipset, the present card is an Asus EN8600GTS (also Nvidea).
What I am wondering is, would there be any issues with putting a Radeon
graphics card onto the motherboard, and does anyone have any odeas about how
to cure this without replacing components?
Thanks for any advice (other than "buy a Mac").
One possibility that occurs to me is BOTH the on-board video and video
adapter card are trying to start on boot up.
Check your setup and make sure the on-board video is disabled.
