Geforce 6800GT won't install properly

I apologize if this is not the relavent section for this topic, but all I seem to read is that my problem just be due to the motherboard or the BIOS.
I have tried to install both a BFG and an XFX Geforce 6800GT card, and both of them have given me issues. I tried the BFG card first and sent it back when no support was given. I'm now in the process of trying to make the XFX card work. Please find relavent system specs in sig (the graphics card there is my old card, of course).
When I install the card/drivers and reboot, my display is distorted with colored, vertical lines of pixelation. My LCD monitor sometimes goes black for a few seconds then displays the screen again. Sometimes it goes thru its digital/analogue source seek randomly, then reboots. The Windows error report message comes up pretty frequently. I have the latest BIOS for my MB (AMI v.1.07), which I installed this morning before installing the card. I have the latest chipset drivers (they're from like December of last year so...). The card is one that comes with just one power plug connector, and I have a cord directly from my PSU plugged into it. I am not experienced with IRQ, though I have heard that this card and other recent graphics cards require you to assign VGA to IRQ in the BIOS, which is not an option in my BIOS.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'd really like to get this card to work and crank up some games today  .  Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks
Melody

PowMax 500W (+3.3V@30A,+5V@50A,+12V@25A)
Sorry, but how high should a PSU be, these days?
nVidia recomments a good quality 480W PSU for this card!!!!!!!!
So the Enermax 465 will do just fine as it has plenty amps (33) on the 12V line.
110W means that it takes approx 10A from the 12V line alone, but the CPU and other stuff want some juice too...
On the Powmax there is only 15A left for the rest of the system, that's not enough...

  • Access Connections and Tools won't install properly

    I have followed advice uninstalled the wireless driver, access connections, hotkey, power manager. . Reinstalled all ( latest versions) except access connection. Wireless connections work correctly and all hot keys function appropriately ( including Fn +F5 ). Then I let TVSU download Access connections. An icon is placed in the task tray. Clicking on it nothing happens. Also none of the hot keys work including the blue ThinkVantage key. Once I uninstall Access connection I am back in business with the wireless connection and the hot keys working. ( for all these installs I turned off the Microsoft virus scanner and the firewall).
    Have similar problem with ThinkVantage tools in that I get the Icon in the task tray and then the program freezes. No problem in reinstalling  PC doctor5

    Hi dulverton,
    I find lenovo drivers and software rather eccentric; since they need to be installed in a particular order to work properly.
    First uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
    Further this is the order in which the following drivers must be installed for each of them to function desirably:- 
    1) Lenovo PM driver
    2) Lenovo System Interface Driver
    3) Hotkey driver
    4) Wireless driver software [reboot]
    5) Access Connections [reboot]
    Hope it helps.

  • Flash Player won't install properly in Mac

    I have repeatedly attempted to install the most current version of Adobe Flash Player in my 10.8.4 Mac without success.  Actually it installs, but does not give me opportunity to accept your terms (which I am willing to do).  When I try to open a file, it is black.  What do I have to do to get this to work properly?

    Junie,
    Hi...
    I really appreciate your assistance.... I installed firefox. I have MAC version 10.5.8... I think I should have stated that on my prior post......sorry.
    The version of firefox I installed on this mac works until I attempt to use a app that requires flash. I updated the flash player with the correct version that firefox requires.
    to no avail will the plugin update. when attempting to update the plugins, I get a message from firefox telling me that I do not have the required system in the mac in order to update the plugins.
    So...I am going to continue to investigate and analyze where I am going wrong in my attempts to reinstall adobe flash on this mac....
    I will keep you apprised to my outcome. Any further assistance that you may possibly provide me would be Great!!
    Thanks again,
    Scott

  • Drivers won't install properly

    I am trying to re-install printer driver/software for my HP Officejet 7210. It is working as a printer only not a fax/scan etc. when I try to re-install driver info it tells me access denied. Any ideas? Below is a list (shortened) of what I have tried.
    1-tried downloading from disk, HP, 3rd party driver finder & tried to fix via HP website fix for access denied (abt clicking SFS box-but I don't have that box...)
    2-turned of firewall and antivirus prog tried downloading again
    3-removed all printer/hp files/folder, also did appwiz to remove, did a search and removed those printer/hp files/folders, checked to make sure there were no unknown devises, tried to install drivers
    4-changed user permissions in safe mode and gave everyone permission to everything, install driver
    5-added another user w/ full admin permission, dwnld driver
    6-HP utility remover, restart, install driver
    7-HP utility- "access denied" msconfg on hp printer installation
    8-downloaded driver from HP website (instead of the disc I've been using) I have again tried to re-install with anti-virus off...
    And all of these I have tried a couple of times, and I tried to change startup (but then returned it to normal)
    Any ideas would be great!
    thanks!

    Try installing first the Intel chipset driver then wireless card driver.

  • New Version of Flash Player Won't Install Properly

    Cannot install new version of Adobe Flash Player. Windows 7, 32 Bit. I use Firefox. Firefox is updated. Old version was working fine. Tried to install new because old one was slow and I received prompts to update. Uninstalled old one. Now, I cannot watch anything because every time I try to install the new version, I keep getting a message saying that I cannot install more than one instance of it, and that it is already open. It is not. I am confused. How do I fix this. Yes, plug-ins are allowed. I tried to connect to the part that said to try for a different computer, and chose Windows and Firefox. Still, the same problem. Please help, I am on the verge of tears.

    Never mind, I chose this option:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
    It finally allowed me to install. It is working. Adobe, I am disappointed that this update was so frustrating to install. Shame on you.

  • 10.8.3 won't install properly

    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1640?viewlocale=en_US     = Direct link for downloading the 10.8.3 Mountain Lion update

    What version of the OS are you currently running?  What is the error?
    You would't download and install the file at that link unless you were already running a version of Mountain Lion.
    If you aren't running Mountain Lion, you need to download and install it first from the App Store, provided you meet the minimum requirements.

  • Pro Applications Update 2008-5 won't install properly

    I just did a clean reinstall of everything on my MacBook, including Snow Leopard and Logic Studio 8. I've run Software Update multiple times to make sure I have the latest of everything, however Software Update wants to install Pro Applications Update 2008-5 every time I run the updater.
    Does anyone know how to get the Pro Applications Update 2008-05 to stick and not show up every time I run Software Update? I've checked Library/Receipts/InstallHistory and it is listed on there 6 times.

    I figured out what the problem is for me at least. I had formatted my drive as Case Sensitive. I did a reformat (now it's just Mac OS Extended Journaled) and reinstall and Logic updates just fine now. In addition, other weird problems I was having have disappeared.

  • Flash won't install properly and I need your help!

    Details:
    -Computer: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo)
    -Browser: Safari 5.0.5 (5533.21.1)
    -Flash version: Flash 10.3
    -Problem: Installation seems successful, but websites still cannot play Flash content and request (again) I download the latest version
    Hello everyone!
    I hope someone here can help, because this problem is driving me crazy. My Flash has always worked fine until about three weeks ago when Youtube told me to download the latest Flash. Facebook applications were telling me to do the same.
    Obediently, I followed the prompts to the Adobe website to download:
    -Flash 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel)
    However, it seems that nothing has changed, and these same websites are still requesting I download the latest version of Flash.
    I am not TOO tech savvy, but it appears to have downloaded correctly. The installation manager states that it was successful, however Flash is not listed under my Applications folder (not sure if it is supposed to?). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still no luck.
    I would appreciate ANY advice you might have. I have no idea how to fix this by myself. Please help!

    Hi, Check and make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled in Safari.
    See if that is the problem.

  • Flash content won't hide properly

    I have four DW layers on top of each other, two of which
    contain flash content - I have had to set wmode to 'window' in
    order to make the movies work in Firefox.
    This means however that when I load the page the movies flash
    up on screen whilst they are loading before disappearing even
    through they layers in which they are contained are set to hide
    onLoad (z index has no effect)
    I hope this makes sense - does anyone have any ideas ?

  • Adobe Flasher Won't Install

    I've have tried everything I can think of to try to install
    adobe flasher. I had it on this computer for a long time and now it
    just won't install properly. Everytime i try to install it, it says
    that I need to install the Active X. I then try to install Active
    X, but I always get a note that tells me that the instalation
    failed. I can't view certain pictures and video. I can't seem to
    properly download the correct Active X control or there maybe
    another problem. Thanks for any information.

    The number one reason that the ActiveX installer fails to
    install on IE are due to incorrect permissions in the system
    registry. We have solved hundreds of these Windows system
    permissions with Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Note: This is strictly for Windows IE, these issues do not
    occur on other browsers such as Firefox.
    www.firefox.com
    To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
    can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
    Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
    result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
    of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
    registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
    proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
    backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding.
    Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
    http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
    1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
    the system registy
    2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
    “subinacl.exe” to the desktop
    *** Make sure both files are on the desktop
    3. Close out all applications
    4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
    5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
    registry keys
    6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
    continue”
    7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
    from here:

  • 10.8.4 Update won't install

    I have tried numerous times to install this latest update.  It downloads, installs, and then restarts - and then when it comes back up - it is still on 10.8.3 and it shows I have an update to install!  What the heck - I have tried to get this update installed for two weeks now thinking it would get fixed somehow on the Apple site or something, but no, it still won't install properly.
    Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me.  Thanks.

  • Keynote won't install from CD

    I just can't figured it out why after i install iwork '09 out from CD, only keynote won't open. I did the procedure 3 times already on my macbook pro lion... installation and software upgrades and such... but still only keynote won't install properly. Instead, it requires serial number to think it should not because it comes from the CD. The rest like pages and numbers are both working properly. I need help... i don't know what to do anymore.

    sorry, maybe I did not explain myself
    the downloadable version was made available two years AFTER the disk you're trying to install, and it was an add-on to an existing installation of ilife 08
    so you won't be able to partially install ilife 06 because your system is not supported, and you won't be able to easily download the more recent version because it was pulled by apple
    so your only chance is find someone willing to upload the app (160MB) somewhere, or look for it on a p2p website (which borders the illegal, so you might not want to ask about it here)

  • The latest update for iTunes 11.1.3, iBooks 1.0.1, Mail 1.0 won't update/install properly.

    I recently installed Mavericks. The latest update for iTunes, iBooks and Mail do not install properly. I have tried updating individually and the Appstore indicates that they're installed. However after every restart the Appstore shows that the same update is available. I checked the applications folder and clicked on the 3 apps to "Get Info" and they're all still the old versions. I've repeatedly tried to update and install and the Appstore history has shown that I've tried over and over again. Any solutions would be appreciated please!

    I'm having this same issue, except Mail and iBooks are both installed, but showing as need to be updated (to same version already installed several days ago). iTunes was also doing this until I manually installed it, but the other two still won't be recognized as updated. I did a sudo softwareupdate -i -a and that failed as well. So I did a
    sudo softwareupdate -v --reset-ignored -l and showed this update is somehow broken

    Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad -  and then see if the app works OK.
    To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
