Xfx fa1itly serieas 1 PCI-e 9600gso 768MB/z i had it running in my system working fine next thing it shut it self down. i took out the card and the MoBo starts up but when the GPU is plugged in with the power connected i get nothing,a quixck bilnk from the MoBo lights and thats it. the card was quiet hot but no hotter than it has been before. also do you know of any where that repaires GPUs in the UK?

Take the card out and restart system. Shut down and reinstall card, make sure card is inserted properly, it should hook and then push down. You may have to push on tab that catches the computer case while pushing in to make it go down and into place. Restart system. Let me know how this goes and, will it start n saf mode?

Are you sure the hard disk is ok? If yes then XP was corrupted - perform a Repair install.

check in your bios settings that the correct settings is enabled if its pci or agp, maybe its some thing like this. hope this helps. also remove your drivers before your take out the card to changed it with another card, by add remove programnmes in control panel.

I had some problems with my 9600GSO, try these drivers:

Ensure your are running the monitors in dual mode still. Open your Nvidia Control Panel and click on "setup up multiple displays" Then on right panel you should see where to select your option on how to run the 2nd one. You might need a driver update from Nvidia, especially if you recently took an update from Microsoft.

Hope this helps
ps Here is the link to Nvidia: Click Me

I think thed new driver is meant for windows Vista

well it might be over clocked, but i have a computer with 4 fans and cpu fan and other fans to. though this still doesnt make a difference casue my cpu still heats up. so get a liquid cooling system, expensive i knw but it will keep your computer running, but you coudl also try cleaning you computer out. Like all of the dust and everything

Hi rohit1987,

The XFX NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB DDR3 PCI Express card uses two DVI ports on the back of the card. Display is most likely coming from the second port. Try moving your monitor cable to the next DVI port. You can do this while your system is running.
If you still do not receive display, post that here & we'll go over some other possibilities.

Good luck rohit1987!
Thank you for using fixya.

I included the link for buying the XFX PCI graphics card in ine of my post. (I'll list it again here). http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3735736&CatId=1603

I can't say if the XFX card would be easily found at a local PC store or not. Places like BestBuy, if they have that card would charge more than what is listed on the internet. Keep in mind PCI video cards are not in demand, so their price may infact go up. I did a google search for, XFX GeForce 6200 Video Card - 512MB DDR2. You can run a search you're self.
