    Graphics Card Not being detected
    « on: July 14, 2009, 04:11:29 PM »
    I need help, at first all was fine, but i kept on not being able to play a certain game (fallout 3) as the game abruptly crashed completely and i ended up back on my desktop. So i updated my Nvidia drivers. . .still the same problem though, i then got the blue screen of death with an error saying that an infinite loop had occured with one of my display drivers, so i re-installed the game, when i ran it the game froze and the PC crashed so i rebooted, and my moniter tells me "No signal" so i took off the case and restated once again same problem and all the hardware looks functional even my graphics cards(Geforce 8600 GT) fan is turning, so i plugged the screen into the onboard graphics adapter and managed to search for graphics cards in my PCI slots first then default to Onboard graphics adaters(Thank you Foxconn :)) but same problem. So i disabled my onboard graphics adapter. . .same problem. I need help  ??? :'(

    Re-install the original drivers from the CD that shipped with the card...

        YOu would need to reenable your video card, if your still using the on-board as you described in your first post.

        You must be running from the video card for the software to find it.
        I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
