My new nvidia 9500gt graphics card is just showing a splodge of colours when I boot up the pc. The initial screen recognises the new card i.e. it says 9500gt. I've successfully reinstalled the old nvidia 6400tc card. Any ideas? Computer is compaq 1440uk on xp sp2 with 2gb of ram and amd 3400+ processor. I've tried the supplied drivers with the card and also just left current card drivers (which nvidia says are the same)

Thanks. I bought it from Maplin so will just take it back. I wondered if my system was too old to take the card or whether I should try to update the bios (which I'm reluctant to do) Thanks.

I've now replaced with an Asus radeon hd6570 for same price which is working very well. Never used radeon cards before but so far impressed. Some of the utilities dont seem to be working but minor detail! I've now replaced with an Asus radeon hd6570 for same price which is working very well.
