    Unhappy problem with nvidia geforce 8400gs

     
    hi there, i recently installed nvidia geforce 8400gs on my desktop. my desktop has core2duo 2.2 ghz processor, 1 gb ram and has on board video card of128 mb memory. before i installed the graphic card my 3d modelling software ran smoothle unless the drawing file became too big. but after i hav installed the graphic card even the small files also feel terribly sluggish on my system.
    reason i brought the graphic card was to improve real time on screen graphics display. but the installation has just resulted in the opppsite. my mother baord is asus x series. p5gc-mx . please help!!
    i use google sketchup 6 for 3d modelling. pls help. thanks

    Two things that come to mind.

    Did you uninstall the drivers for the on-board graphics chip before installing the 8400GS?

    Have you installed the drivers for the new video card? You can get the newest version here: NVIDIA Drivers Download

    Hey, i have another problem with a 8400gs. I'm unable to install drivers for it. When the installation is half done, the screen goes blank and after ca 5minutes system reboots and then the screen blanks out again. I tried to install the driver after the hard drive had been reformatted.

    Oh, another thing. The radiator of the card goes pretty hot. I have no idea how hot it may get, but i wouldn't keep my hand on the radiator over 10 seconds. Might that be a problem?

    Your better off starting your own thread, just because the this thread pertains to an 8400 doesn't mean the issues are related...

    Looks like rooster pretty much covered it...
    I would use DriverSweeper to clean the old drivers out and as Rooster said, install the newest...
