Couldn't find Winflash to flash the BIOS. I may be stupid...:)
Anyway, I went into the BIOS and told it to boot using the PCI-Ex 16 as default is not set to that just 'PCI'.
I then rebooted did an extended test at boot - no errors reported. Then loaded up the XFX Nvidia Drivers from CD. They installed and as soon as completed this message appeared....
'Power Nvidia System Sentinel is reporting that the Nvidia powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power'
'To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing potential system lock-up, the graphics processor has lowered it's performance to a level that allows continued safe operation'
The options you would expect 32 Bit and High Screen Resolutions are all back, But I have not tried based on the message warning above.
Now the only things that has happened is the change I made above in the BIOS and the fact that the card has been re-installed. I use a Tagan Easycon U-15 which has a switch on the rear to allow switiching of the 12v rail. It is set to 'Split'. But I have not got a clue what this means....Anyone? The power connector is connected to the GFX card via a lead that is not shared with another device.
One peculiar thing that has happened (it was working yesterday) was that I now get an Error ID: 0x80040256 which means there is no sound card. I only use the onboard sound anyway and stereo speakers, which when I connect while the PC is on I get the crackling as it connects.
Any thoughts?
