Hello everyone, I am having troubles with this card. This is the first time I've installed a card on my own, and I really had no direction whatever to go off of. I am rather familiar with the terms, though, and made sure to get one that was compatible with my motherboard. In this case, the graphics interface is PCI Express x16. I was able to put it in just fine, or so I thought, with no trouble at all. I put it back together and came upstairs, plugged it all in, but instead of plugging the monitor into the usual slot, I plugged it into the video card, as that seemed the logical thing to do. As I expected somewhat, it said "No input detected" or something along those lines, so I thought I'd plug it back into the other slot and install the drivers from there. Unfortunately, as soon as it comes on, I get the "Windows has recovered from a serious error." message (I'm on Windows XP SP3 32-bit for future reference) and when I try to install the drivers, it says that the hardware is not found.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix my issue? I may have someone to assist me soon, but I figured I would post here for extra support, or my only support if he does not know what to do. Thanks in advance.
