    Monitor Problems "not supported model"
    « on: July 31, 2007, 03:55:45 PM »
    Recently bought a 2nd hand base unit, all plugged in etc. I plug it into my TV and whilst loading the operating system it sees to load ok, but then it'll stop and shows a message on the monitor saying "not supported model".

    I dont know what the graphics card is etc, I think it is used with a digital lead? The white one with the squares?

    I somehow loaded it on a lower resolution and it worked.

    Can you please help?


    Thanks,

        Anyone got any crazy ideas?

        I get in on safe mode fine, although Vista wont let me change the refesh rate.

            It's a 15" Samsung LCD TV. Don't know the exact model.

            Apparently from the guy I bought it from, it has a "nvidia geforce 6600gt 128mb graphics".

            Does that make any sense?

            Cheers,

            So he sold you a TV and a video card ? ? Or was that the card he ran the TV on ? ?
            If thats the video card you bought if you click on the link below you can DLoad a PDF manual that will tell exactly what type of monitors/TV's the card supports...

            So you'll need the Samsung Model # after all.
