20 Most Recent PNY XLR8 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card Questions & Answers

I have got Dell comp with same n-vidia 8800GT suddenly after installing adobe's update only 1 monitor functions and slowly.
Any reinstaling and updating drivers that i ve tried did not help.

Thank you for choosing Fixya. This is software related and is probably happening because the fan is defaulted to auto setting & more than likely 40%. Since this is a Nvidia card you could download a tool like Rivatuner or I personally prefer EVGA Precision tool, yes it works with your card even if it's not an EVGA brand card. If you want to monitor temp more closely EVGA Precision allows this better than most as you can put the gpu temp & pcb temp as well as fan speed in your start bar by the clock. 40% auto is ok for normal use but if you use your mac for gaming at all I'd recommend bumping the fan speed up manually to 85-95% if playing a graphic intensive game. It won't hurt the fan & it will keep your card cooler. As for the lines it may just be a quirk on waking from sleep mode. If it goes away within a few seconds I wouldn't worry about it. I hope these tips help you out and again thank you for choosing Fixya.

Most likely you will want to try and update the driver for the grahics card maybe even uninstall the device and reinstall it will be a big difference. I also suggest trying this before the driver update.... try to do a system restore back to the point where you think it last worked it could have just been another program that is interfering with it. Be sure to save your game files under your game folder on a flash drive incase it uninstalls your progress of it. If you need help doing that let me know ill explain more on how to keep the game files and such. Be sure to update the driver later on. Lastly i would check and make sure the fan is working...or heat sink on the graphics card isn't getting to hot that could be another cause to the problem goodluck!!

Well if you installed the correct drivers for your video card and have the proper power supply requirements, then the vertical lines you're getting most likely indicate that your video card is bad.

Try it in another computer if available, or get another video card.

Hi Juan016, you have done everything right. I'd say the 8800GT is bad & return it for a refund. Run the 8600GT & the NVIDIA 6100 at the same time. If you check the middle of page 9 in your manual. NOTE: It states; if a PCI-E is inserted the bios will automatically run the PCI-E card. (No need to make a bios setting change).
It also says if you change the setting in the bios to, OnChip and PCIe VGA, the motherboard should run both. Depending what amount of memory you set the NVIDIA to run with. Once in windows check the amount of total memory the NVIDIA or 8600GT reports.
Example: You set the NVIDIA to use 64MB & the 8600GT has 512MB than the NVIDIA or the 8600GT should show 576MB. Its not that uncommon one buys a bad video card.
Reading the manual & windows not seeing the 8800GT tells me the bios did not see the 8800GT card. The card is bad. You’re doing just fine.

go right to their website and download the appropriate driver/software and install it from your computer instead of the cd. incidentally, remove the cd from the drive and inspect the working side... the shiny side and see if it has any smudges or scratches. the cd player may not be able to read it.
it's not mentioned but is that a pc or mac and what operating system are you using ?

Try downloading and using the PNY format tool for 32GB flash drives: https://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?cls=2&mode=download https://www.pny.com.tw/index.php?cls=2&mode=download

Try to scan the Memory card or Try to use bluetooth if the camera had bluetooth

Check the software for the new part, is it compatible with your version of Windows, I think that is the likely problem.

get a different monitor that can handle it or get a better motherboard ram etc

Ok, so when you put the card , even at start you can't see nothing or just at windows start ?

Your Graphics Card may want additional power regardless of what peripherals are connected to it.
