***ECS K7S5A/Geforce 3 **Windows XP will not shutdown after I installed a new video card

[lotust]

Hi all ,

I just installed a Geforce 3 . I upgraded from my older Geforce 256. now my PC hangs/locks when it get to "shuting down the computer"

I think i hear the hard drives shut down, but then its stuck. I tryed everything I can think of. I evan reformated. It worked for a few hours but it will not shutdown again.

I will not put my old Gf 256 back in


HELP!!

Are you running XP? If so, there's an nVidia service that gives some people problems with shutdown/logoff. It's the only nVidia one in services. You can just disable it with no harm.

 

[lotust]

yes i have XP pro. DO you mean disable it in Administrative Tools/Services "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service"


I disabled that and still no luck. Is there something else I missed?


thanks alot for trying to help ,

Shawn

What drivers are you using & did you try the new SiS AGP driver it might help.

 

[lotust]

Disable the NIC, see if it solve your problem.
If so, you might have to move around your other pci device.

its a onboard Nic but ill try it

I know, that's why I said you might have to move OTHER pci around.
I had similar problem w/ my 3Com having problem w/ my firewire card that cause my system not able to shut down.

Also have you tried your window update?

Hmmm. Try removing all dirvers and set to Standard PCI display. When you reboot DO NOT reinstall drivers. Instead run Regcleaner (I can send it to you) and clean out ALL traces of old drivers left behind. Then reinstall.
