Ok - I have just bought a nvidia Geforce 4 Ti4200 128MB card. My old card is a TNT2 Pro 64 32MB.
I have checked all the requirements for the geforce 4 and they 'seem' to match up with my motherboard (Intel D845HV.
When I instaled the card it frooze my machine and simply wont work when it boots up - although it does say geforce 4 Ti4200 when I start my machine right at the beginning.
Could anyone give me any advice?
My VDU BIOS settings are:
AGP Aperture size: currently on 64MB (or 256MB)
Primary video adaptor: currently PCI (or AGP)

Before installing the new card, did you delete the old drivers for the original card, using add/remove programs, or deleting old card from control panel->system ?
Sometimes the drivers conflict so if you havent, I suggest the best way is to put the old card back in and remove drivers first, then swap the cards.
Also have you tried starting the computer in safe mode (tap F8 after bios screen), this will load windows without any drivers, if this doesnt load either i would say you have a graphic card fault and take it back, if it does work then its probablly just a driver conflict?

Morace - thanks for the info'
Before I changed cards I deleted the old driver (as it said the manual).
I'm really stumped on this one as the card in question is AGP 2x/4x compatible...
Your not the first who said it's a faulty card...I bought it off eBay and the dude I had it off insists that it worked when he had it...
Ill have another go tonight ;O)

Often it is hard to plug the display card in correctly. Last time I upgraded mine would not work, but it did after I replugged it.
