Drivers Missing After New Graphics Card ?

Recently the graphics card on our Power Mac G4 "MDD" stopped working. For a while, there was an increased fan noise, then just a few days ago, when the computer was turned on, the fan was very loud & the screen was jittery & pixelated before providing an error message & turning off.
We ended up buying a new (refurbished) graphics card -- the same model as was in the computer to begin with: NVidia GeForce4 Titanium TI4600 128MB DVI/ADC.
Today we installed the new card & everything worked great without any errors, screen issues, etc.
However, now we have issues using both our external HD & the iSight (external Firewire camera). First, the Power Mac was not even detecting the External HD (a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II - 2TB). We then plugged the external HD into our MacBook Pro & it worked as it did before.
Upon further investigation, it seemed that maybe the drivers & managing programs for the WD external HD were missing from the Power Mac. We downloaded & installed those (including an updated firmware) from the Western Digital site. Now the External HD isn't even turning on.. but that's a separate issue that we believe we need to speak with WD about.
Our iSight camera, however, is also not responding & we can't seem to get it to work. We tried to find the drivers for the camera, but have (so far) only been able to find an update for OS X 10.5+
*SO our question is....* are drivers installed/stored on the graphics card?? Why would these things be missing after only switching out the graphics card?
Any help/advice/info would be much appreciated as we are about to pull our hair out!

Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for the help! It didn't make sense to us as that any drivers would be on the graphics card so the suggestions here make a lot more sense.
Before we boot to the OS X install disc and run Disk utility or Disk Warrior, etc.. is there any thing we need to know regarding files on the computer? Is there anything we should or shouldn't do so that we don't need to worry about any possible files being deleted from this procedure?
*A bit more info:* (If this helps) upon further investigation & reading online, we found that somehow the BaseSystem.pkg file was missing. We had all the symptoms mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2023
And we also tried to follow the recommendations regarding getting the computer to recognize the *iSight external camera* found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084429 However, we had no luck. Everything we go through those steps, a window pops up saying no camera is detected even though it is plugged into the Firewire port. We're hoping that following japanmac's suggestions will correct this as well...?

IMAC 2007 has broken crackly sound after new graphics card

My 2007 iMac recently had a black screen and has had a new graphics card installed by a local company. I've picked it up today but when I got the IMAC home the sound only seems to come out of the right speaker and is very broken and low, hardly audible, also the chime at start up was like this.
Does anyone know why this could have happened and is there anything I can do without having to take it back in?

Well one piece of advice I can offer is to always take a Mac (any Mac) to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or an Apple Store. If you took it somewhere that is not an AASP you never know the level of service you are getting. I would be willing to guess there is an AASP in your general area.

H9-1130 Won't boot after new graphics card install.

Alright, here we go.
I recently bought an EVGA 750 superclocked for my PC. The first time I installed it, I got a black screen. Popped in the old GPU and checked the BIOS. Ended up updating it.
Now, here's the interesting part: I install the EVGA back into my computer, and it ends up getting stuck at the HP boot logo. I went to another thread on this site regarding pretty much the same question, and the people there recommended checking the PSU and the graphics card. Well, I brought my GPU to a friend to plug into his computer, and it booted up just fine. I did check my PSU aswell, and all seems to be fine there. So, yeah, any suggestions on how I can get this card to work on my mobo?
SPECS:
AMD FX-8120
(old) GPU: AMD 7670
(new) GPU: EVGA 750 1gb Superclocked
PSU: HP 650w
mobo: Gigabyte 2AC8

Hi,
I have no suggestions on how to get the EVGA GTX 750 to work in a HP PC that has a legacy version 7 bios (non-UEFI).
I do have one suggestion: Contact EVGA and ask for a remendy other than replacing the motherboard or buying a new PC. Don't expect HP to provide a version 8 UEFI BIOS update for your PC. HP didn't start producing UEFI BIOS consumer desktop PCs until the middle of October 2012.
You might try Sapphire as they offer both NVIDIA and AMD graphics that are designated UEFI and those that are not designated UEFI. You need a card that is non-UEFI designated.

3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

Pci to pci bridge error code 35 after installing my new graphics card

hello everyone
first of all i am not sure if in the right section of the forum to post this...if not i am sorry.
well about my problem...i ve bought this new graphics card msi geforce gt430 and a new psu which is 580 watt and yesterday i installed em both.and then i turned on my pc. the thing is windows cant detect my grsphics card.there is this yellow exclamation mark on pci standard pci to pci bridge in device manager menu.i tried uninstalling pci to pci bridges and rebooting my pc.it didnt help.i also tried updating every single driver again nothing changed.i also have one of the latest bios so i dont think it should be related to bios.i have no idea how to fix this.i am a little bit ignorant when it comes to pc hardware.i can use all the help i can get.
thanks for your helps in advance.
astinwald

Yup, wrong part of the forum.
Sven will move it next time he's here.
Pci2pci is a motherboard thing but could interfere with gfx detection.
I know you said you'd reinstalled all drivers but...
Did you get the latest drivers for your motherboard?
If that doesn't fix it I guess the next step would be a complete OS reinstall...

No Signal after installing new graphics card

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
We have a 2yr old HP p6540y. It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep. We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message. Please advise!
1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI. So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610. Still got same 'no signal' message.
4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out. Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again. We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card. When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message. We unplugged/plugged computer in several times. Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing. No Signal. After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.
8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.
9) We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
So...what do we need to do?
Thanks so much!

I cant get it to work.
Have tried to find the latest BIOS but the latest one is from 2012 :/
Please help me.

Thanks for the quick answers. I think i will buy a new motherboard or a upgrade package. Is it possible that someone can answer if this all would work together ?
I thinking of buying this sort of upgrade package when im still on a "spending money spree".

Installing new graphics card in hp p7-1155

I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the above box.
Haggiscat suggested this board thru a previous post on this site. I have printed out the install directions from the hp help so I have the mechanics of how to install this thing. Those directions say to disable the on-board graphics card first, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: Do I need to do anything else first such as downloading the driver first/delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Do I use that to get the drivers or go to the invidia website? I want this install to go as smoothly as possible so expert help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure how to direct you to the previous post but it's in this section. Take a look for some background.
Thanks
This question was solved.

Hi,
I suggest that your carefully read the instructions published by EVGA. I have multiple EVGA graphics cards and none of the directions ever suggested to uninstall the old video drivers prior to installing the new graphics card. Use the drinver disk that comes with the graphics card after your boot up. The default Windows drivers will work and then you can install the EVGA supplied drivers. EVGA also has a web site that you can obtain later drivers that have been tested by EVGA for your graphics card.
The modern HP motherboards will automatically switch to the discrete graphics card if detected and if it is compatible with the BIOS and motherboard.
The NVIDIA 7xx series graphic cards have been problematic with HP motherboards using a version 7 BIOS. some may work and some may not work.
The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Speaker problem with t420i and adding a new graphics card question

I bought a t420i about a month ago and noticed that the speakers could not properly handle muliple sounds at once. What happens is that, say in a music video, the music plays loud and clear, but once the lyrics start the background music fades a bit to about 85% of it's original volume. I had returned the laptop because of this problem but the replacement I got has the SAME exact problem.
In case im not clear, try this example. You know the beeping noise you get when you press an incompatible set of keys? ( like g, h, and b). When I have this noise going simultaneously with a song, the song's sound fades a bit.
This does not happen with headphones, therefore i believe the problem is with the way the speakers are programmed.
Also, if I bought a t420 with just integrated graphics, could I still add a new graphics card? Or can you only add a new graphics card to a thinkpad that initially comes with discrete graphics?

I think the main purpose of the nvs4200m is the ability to use three displays (internal + 2 external). Additionally, nVidia has better driver support for games so even though it is around the same speed, the drivers are better.
The shared ram is still used, unless you disable the HD3000 in the BIOS and run with only the nvs4200m at all times.

How to install new graphic card?

I would like to try to upgrade my graphic card (currently have a GeForce 7300) to run newer games on my pc, but have never opened the back of a computer before. I was hoping someone might be able to help. Is it as easy as just removing the old card and installing the new one?
I was thinking of replacing it with a Geforce 9500 or 9600. My computer has an AMD 6400 dual processor 2.80 ghz with 2 GBs of RAM so the new graphics card should fit, right?
Much thanks for any thoughts and advice.

Yep just remove and replace. Just make sure its the correct type (AGP, PCI-e, etc) thats already in there.
The instructions with the card are pretty simple.
1. unplug computer and remove all cords.
2. lay computer on table.
3. unscrew case screws and slide cover (side cover or whole cover depending on make) off.
4. lay computer on side so you can see the mother board.
5. touch metal chassis before touching any component.
6. unscrew screw that holds the part of the vid card at the back slots.
7. unplug any cable to the vid card.
8. theres a latch that needs to be unlocked before removing card. unlock it (usually slides to the front of the computer, dont force anything)
9. pull vid card straight out.
install new card in reversed order. Make sure you install the new cards software/drivers according to instructions.

New graphics card not working in old Pavilion elite

Hey, so i bought a new graphics card, ASUS strix 750ti oc ed., when i plug it in to my Pavilion elite hpe 531sc i get a blue screen with the hp logo and a text saying 'press esc for startup menu' or something like that. Pressing esc does nothing, pressing any other button does me nothing either.
I tried plugging in the old graphics card, it still sort of works except i cant really play games or get my resolution above 800x600, and install the drivers and all for the new graphics card. But the new graphics card still dont work when plugged back in.
So im at a loss here, is my desktop simply too old or something?

Seeing alot of postings about trying that card. See this thread on a possible solution:

Help with installing new graphics card

Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
Orginally had a ati hd radeon 2gb (not sure what model)
in it
after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon
I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card
Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac

Hi,
The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
     http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
Probably you are talking about the following card:
    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
(a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
(b) Install driver for new card
Hope this helps.

6 beeps on startup after replacing graphic card H8-1409

Hi,
I'm having trouble upgrading the graphic card on the desktop. The power supply comes with the computer is rated 460W and the min requirement for the new graphic card (Asus GTX660 Direct CU II OC) per manufacturer specs is 450W. After I installed the new card (with the additional power cord plugged in), the computer gives me 6 beeps and the screen doesn't show anything. Is it the problem of the power supply? If so would the case be ok to house a different power supply?
Thank you!

Problems with BIOS for new graphics card!!! HEEELP!!!!

Hello,I just recently received my new graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960), and I am having some troubles getting it to work with my computer (p7-1072sc). I go myself a new PSU (Crossair CX600M), istalled it properly, pluged all the components up and put in the new GPU. Every time I turn on the PC, it freezes at the blue HP loading screen and does not respond to any keys.After some google searching I found out that I most likley would have to update my BIOS, so I went to the HP homepage. Entered my modelnumber, downloaded the new BIOS update (My current version was 7.14 13.10.2011), the update said the version was 7.15 05.25.2013. I downloaded the exe file, closed all other programs and ran the file. I started out as normal, but as the main installationprocess started I got the message that hpprobar3 stoped working. The computer freezed for a short while and then I got the message that the new BIOS had bin successfully installed, so I restarted the comuter. After that I checked back on the systems information and the version had bin changed to 7.15, but the date was still 13.10.2011. I tried the same rpocess again and the same thing happened. I ried again to put in the new GPU, and it still froze on the blue HP loading screen. I also tried to find the directory for the BIOS file (sp55548.exe) (to make a flash installation), under c:/swsetup, but I only found one folder named sp68021. Can anyone help me with this?? I would really appreciate any advice sort of advice!!!
PS: I am pretty new to all this stuff, so please be patient and explain any technical informoation or terms.

As stated before, and as a refresher. I just got off the line with MSI and EVGA. What you have is a Legacy motherboard. It can not function with a UEFI BIOS graphic card. That said:MSI (Greg): The 750Ti NF has a switch for Legacy/UEFI. All others in the 700 series are UEFI. The 900 series, plus the R7, R9 ship with the new VBIOS, a hybrid that detects the correct BIOS (Legacy/UEFI). EVGA (Kayon): All 600 and 700 except the 750Ti are Legacy.
