20 Most Recent ASUS NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT,, PCI Express Video Card Questions & Answers

Hi, Calm down. Try this solution: 1. Unplug your display driver and clean it using a clean brush. 2. Clean its terminal ( a yellow one) with a clean cloth. 3. Plug it again and put it in its correct position without any misplace even only half millimetres. Hope this will answer your problem.

try these following steps:
1: update your graphics driver to one of the most recent one:
2: Lower down the hardware acceleration to minimum.
3: If you can see things in the pause menu of the game please disable all the extra graphics effect ( like anty aliasing, etc )

Hope this would help.

there is a software conflict which is stopping the display unit.remove previous driver and install an updated one.please disable any integrated motherboard VGA display unit on your BIOS

Re-submit your problem in English and you will have a broader base to work from

the 9400 is a pretty slow card. Try games with lower requirements or lowering the graphics settings

It sounds like a driver or ram problem. How do you have it hooked up. DVI or HDMI. I suggest you uninstall all Asus software through "Programs and Features", and down load from Asus. You want to uninstall the driver, The Smart Doctor, and the gamer OSD. go to this link here;
http://support.asus.com/Download/Options.aspx?SLanguage=en&type=1
1 In "Product" scroll down to PC componenets and point on and click Graphic card"
2 Serires Nvidia series
3 Model EN9400 series
New window -click on your o/s- click on confirm.
Your drivers will show up. You will see (VGA), click on that and choose the most recent one. Click on "Global" and download. When fifnished, restart and come back here.
Pull up the drivers again using the process above and whwn you get to downloads click on (utitlities).
In that list you want "Smart Doctor" and Gamer OS,
different downlods. Make sure you restart after you are finished with these two.
****Note*** You have to download VGA first in order for this to work.
The only other thing I would consider is how much RAM you have. If 512mb, you're pushing it.
If you have problems let me know at "add a comment"

If you uninstall the onboard driver and then update the new cards driver in device manager the problem should be solved.

If not you can always reinstall your operating system, that usually solves any driver issue.

If that doesn't work then your card is most likely not compatible with your motherboard.

There are several reasons for hardware hangup.
But, if there is a problem with nVIDIA PCI express card, then the problem could be with the GPU.

It can be overcome by doing reflow technique.
You need to do following.
1. Uncover ur PC casing
2. Locate the nVIDIA PCI-E Card.
3. On the card, locate the power supply pin of GPU fan.
4. Remove the pin.
5. Switch on ur PC.
6. Still u may get scrambled display/wavy screen, but wait for 5 minutes.
7. Press reset button on ur PC.
8. Ur PC might work.
9. Switch it off.
10. Connect the power supply pin back as it is.
11. Power on ur PC.
thats all.

Removal of fan power, makes the GPU to get high heat, it a reflow technique.
Remember, not to touch the GPU portion (heat sink), as it may be in higher temperature.
Try this, it works most.

This is your driver,do a complete uninstall using Revo uninstaller to get everything the card uninstaller leaves behind.

This is free,I always use it to make sure everything was removed.

Hello 

I  think the card has gone bad  some chip  must be damaged  I will suggest a new card .
As you have you have Reinstalled so many times the card possibility of card processor  being  faulty 


good luck

There should be a model number on the board somewhere. A search of the model number would be better. You may have to remove a fan to see the chipset, then go to the Asus website and look up the video cards that use the same chipset. Graphics Cards ASUS

Yes

Did you try to play games for a long time, with the stock cooler. i'm amazed about all the gammer which are still using stockcooling and the teperature stays warm for 5 hours. And if i say they need to watercool it, just like you cpu and memory, because high temps degrease 1. the lifespan of your gear ( especially mb with cheap capacitors) enemoursly, but they overclock the graphiccard at the same time , while the effectivity decreases , caused by too warm components, they want also higher ratings from the card by overclocking. That's why i never by second hand cards or mb's or cpu's. Does the card still work; if not, does it smell burning? and did it broke, while gaming?????

What operating system are you running on the PC? Do you have the appropriatre drivers? Have you loaded them?

Check very well that the connection of the connectors is right: push the videocard lightly onto the motherboard, with a little wriggling. Maybe remove and clean connectors with alcohol and then reput it in. Also check the powerline connector very well. if this is of no help, I am afraid it is broken.

Hi , I suggest to check for any thermal issues including condition of the video card fan / heat sinks ie dust , If supported you can run a LINUX disk like Ubuntu in live / try mode If video works ok , then most likely a Windows environment incl hardware conflict or virus / driver corruption issue , but if not then most likely a video card hardware issue like bad card cooling fan or excessive dust - thermal shedding issue or card bios/chipset fault If a likely software issue then uninstall and then reinstall the video card Consult ASUS or Nvidia support The procedure is something like this Onboard video support ? yes uninstall the video card driver and any video vendor configuration applets Uninstall video card in device manager if still present. Shut down and remove mains power cable remove the hardware video card , (using anti static electricity procedures) Attach onboard video to display Power up and enter and configure BIOS setup if required, ie 1st seek onboard video Bootup to Windows Install the onboard video device using Windows plug&play default driver executed during booting Restart Confirm working ok Update the chipset driver (inf) if applicable, restart Shutdown Reinstall the hardware video card Attach to display Reconfig BIOS setup if required Start to install default driver Install video driver / update from card default using a known good driver whose setup file has been previously downloaded restart and test Hope this helps
