Well,
Recently I got a new computer, moved it up stairs and bought a internet card for it. Everything was fine and great. Then I decided to buy a graphics card for it. Plugged it in all things are fine. The computer started and displayed but just before the login screen, it freezes.. everytime. But! When I take one card out and leave the other in, it works fine! I want to be able to have both cards in at the same time, anyone able to help?
-Thanks

Return the NIC card for a replacement...
Also try it in another slot if possible.
-
well cards are fine.
and I only have 2 slots
-
How do you know the cards are fine ? ?
-
because whenever i take one out and put the other in it works fine. and then if i do it the other away around it still works so they clearly both work fine.
-
It's possible the vid card is overheating with the other card installed next to it...is the fan operating properly ?
-
Does the computer work in Safe Mode?
-
indeed the fan is on and working, could it possibly be the power supply?
-
no it still fails in safe mode too

DLoad install and run SpeedFan and post the results here...

Microsoft XP pro (5.1, Build 2600)
Model: Hp D530 SFF(PB135UA)

Internet card is just a simple internet chip.
and this is going to probably sound dumb but what do you mean when you say "DLoad install and run SpeedFan"
