Title: Monitor prob
Post by: Hap on December 22, 2005, 02:18:24 PM

1) installed new gt6500 by nivida vid card.  2) opened up advanced menu and noticed there were some monitor functions and the listed language was "chineese" so i pulled down the menu arrow and the monitor sorta blinked and became quite dark.  

who's had the prob and what is the fix.

Hap,
Make sure you use DRIVER CLEANER when you reinstall.

Instructions for proper install of video drivers.

Pick 1 driver:


Nvidea - http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp - go here and download the drivers to your desktop.

ATI - http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/....x=5&submit.y=4 - go here and download the drivers to your desktop.

Omega tweaked drivers. Recommended by Nvidea and ATI - http://www.omegadrivers.net/main.php - go here and download the drivers to your desktop.


Now get DriverCleaner:
http://www.drivercleaner.net/ - Put it on your desktop


Now install DRIVER CLEANER


Go to add and remove programs and remove all references to ATI or Nvidea.

Restart in safe mode. Usually by clicking the f8 button during reboot.

DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING if windows asks.

.

Run DRIVER CLEANER. Pick the appropriate filter in the scroll down box AND CLICK THE CLEAN button.



Then restart. DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING once again. It's ok, all will be well :)

When you reach your desktop click on the driver you downloaded and follow prompts.

Restart..

 

If you have any problems read the helpfile that comes with DRIVE CLEANER.
