Problem nstalling a new asus graphics card

[bobfromdowntheroad 0]

 My graphics card (EVGA GEFORCE 9800 GT 1 GIG 16x PCI-E) took a massive crap!

I mean worse than my dog after eating left-over chinese food.

My motherboard is ASUS T-SERIES 45

I am having trouble installing a new ASUS GEFORCE 650 ti EDITION OC 2GB.

Excuse my ignorance.

I meet all requirements for the card. Inserted it, connected the plug, outted hdmi to the monitor (connection works) ~fans are spinning, green light on card is on. But it keeps going to the onboard grfx.

 

Under devices it lists just that, and no recognition of the new card. Tried to disable onboard but it just keeps going back to it after restart. There is something really stupid that I'm not doing.

1rst off...the DRIVER & GPU TWEAK CD V1092 is scratched/won't read and I don't even know if there is crap on there that is needed to EVEN RECOGNIZE the new card under devices.

 

Where could I find this shit & just download it instead of using the disk?

Someone mention flashing (is that the word?) the BIOS?

Asus site is like a retarded tree for info.

Anyone know a tech number where I can actually get a ASUS person on the phone?

Or any suggestions what Im not doing?

I just got it yesterday and stood up all night eating cheetoes and trying to figure it out.

 

Please note: I am also on oxycodone for pain right now...but I know I have at least 2 firing neurons upstairs (in my head).

 

Any help whatsoever would be so appreciated....thanks,

Bob.....ya'know..... Bob from down the road.

Hello,

 

My name's Falcon. I'm new here and attempting to help others troubleshoot Computer problems.

I notice, You're trying to install the card but after successful installation your PC displays video from your Stock onboard graphics?

Well, First try is to install the correct Driver for that GPU. While on your Stock onboard graphics head to this site and surf the correct Driver.

After that, Install it and restart. Then tell me if it work so i can continue helping you.

NVIDIA 326.80 Driver here: Clicky (Assuming, you're using Vista, 7 or 8).

Install drivers and reboot - Windows can't communicate with the card without the correct drivers, this is why it won't recognise the card correctly.

Never bother with the drivers on a disc that you get with any hardware, 9 times out of 10 it's already outdated before it's left the factory - no need for flashing anything quite yet!

You are sure that your monitor cable is connected to the actualy video card and not the onboard one?

Hey mate,

 

Have you attempted to disable your on-board graphics via BIOS?  I'd start with fresh drivers, but also consider disabling the on-board, seeing as how you don't intend to use it.

 

Cheers,

Jimmy
