your current hardware"

if you have onboard video make sure it's disabled in the bios, also make sure your new 8800GT is installed in the first\top PCI-E slot. Make sure to uninstall any drivers for your old video card also.
Next goto nvidia.com and download the latest drivers

YEAH..I downloaded already the latest drivers from nvidia,but just like i said, it keeps on saying "nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with
your current hardware"

what operating system are you running?
when you goto device manager does it show up there?

1st xp,but i changed to vista,but still the same message i received.

Here is a link for the Vista 32-bit drivers
http://us.download.nvidia.com/...32bit_english_beta.exe

try these.
what company makes the card you just bought? check there website for a bios update perhaps? I know my EVGA 8800 GTS 512 has a bios update out.

 

[coolcomic]

my card is inno3d 8800gt 512mb,and i believed that all drivers is downloaded already

 

[gpse]

does the card show up in the windows device manager?
control panel-> system -> device manager

if it does, or even if "standard VGA adapter shows up" right click on them click uninstall, then click the box in device manager that says "Scan for plug and play compliant hardware" then it should find it.
Once it shows up in device manager right click again and click "properties" then click update driver. point it to the location where the nvidia drivers are extracted. I guess before you do this you should open the latest nvidia drivers so it extracts the files somewhere, usually c:\nvidia

Hope that helps.

your psu looks really weak, especcially if its generic. might want to look into that.
