Having trouble with gigabyte geforce 8600 gts not displaying in device manager

hey i recently got a gigabyte geforce 8600gts and i installed it in the pci-ex slot and its not found once i started up windows and windows did not prompt for found new hardware, could the vga card not function or is it the slot. there is power to the vga card because heatsink it warm to the touch so obviously running. i have entered bios to enable the pci express and windows still does not find new hardware. i have tried an old pci vga card and that one was found during startup. any help would be appreciated.

Hahahaha $ 18,- for a powersupply
+12V @ 19A .....stop making me laugh this hard, my belly hurts
Get something decent, with 33A or more at 12V and you are set.
You can not get anything decent below 70 USD.
First off it was free and no not a 5 or 10 finger discount, new a guy from comp store who was discontinuing the psu and mine went out; so got for free.
i tried the 8600gts on different mobo an asus a8n32 gaming and got a post with the a-power 580w psu despite the +12v@ 19A rail; it just maybe my current mobo. i dont know if it is the slot or the bios. the bios itself is locked and the mobo was manufactured by msi but was apart of an e-machine desktop. so no oc'ing of anything already tried cpuz and ntune to name a few.

  • Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes

    Hi having trouble with camera roll photos - can not see them in i tunes. Is adobe photoshop the only program I can use?

    You don't see them in iTunes. In theory your computer should see the device as a camera and you should be able to transfer the photos in the same way as if you'd connected a 'proper' camera to your computer (this only applies to photos taken with the device or saved from emails/websites etc, it doesn't apply to photos that were synced from your computer). There is some help/guidance in this article for transferring photos to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • "GPU enhancements/display driver" error with NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS

    I am currently evaluating a demo of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. I am using a NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS video card. When I open the application, I get this error:
    Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disables GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
    GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.
    Here's the thing - the NVidia graphics driver I'm using is current! It's version 195.62. And here are the specifications of my video card (which is about a few years old).
    I am using Windows XP Home 32-bit SP3 with 2GB of DDR2 memory. Processor is AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+.
    I've read over the functionality that this error message affects, and I'm not sure I understand it. If my video card is using its most current driver, what the heck am I to do? How badly will this handicap my Adobe Photoshop experience? (For reference, I plan on not doing that much using the 3D capabilities of Photoshop - but it may be interesting one day.)
    Also, one bug I'm experiencing is that the Layers window is present, but its contents don't appear unless I click on it.
    I'm not sure if I'm open to buying a new video card just to satisfy my Photoshop needs. Any help is much appreciated in overcoming this error and enabling FULLY-operational functionality of Photoshop CS4. Thanks!

    Here is a link that may help with old GPU's. Also ensure before you update the drivers that opengl is turned off otherwise PS will use the old drivers.

  • My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

    My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications.  Word will not even open.  I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe.  Excel sometimes opens but very slow.  What could be wrong?  I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change.  I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

    Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
    1. Get more ram.
    2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
    3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
    If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

  • Having trouble with apple tv it will not respond to commands

    I cannot get my apple tv to respond to commands. I've turned it off repeatedly and thought maybe it was my harmony remote that controls all of my devices but I tried the apple tv remote and it doesn't respond to that either.  Anybody else having trouble with this?

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • TS1363 Once again having trouble with my 6th gen nano not being recognized in ITunes on my Windows 8 computer

    Can't decide if the nightmare called Windows 8 is the culprit.  I'm reinstalling ITunes (for the 2nd time on this PC) and re-downloading all of my music to my computer. Hopefully I can get the new songs I purchased to show up on my IPod.  If not, time to go back to my 1997 discman.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 camera shutter not opening

    Any ideas what I can try. Sometimes it works and other time the shutter locks up.

    Hello Wildcat74
    There are some steps to try out that I have highlighted for you in the article below for iPhone hardware troubleshooting.

    Camera is not functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • Having troubles with a firefox page and not allowing me to change my homepages

    Everytime I open Firefox the tab "http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew/" opens and I can't stop it. Even though it isn't set as a homepage. Also, I can't change my homepages. When I change them, the changes aren't saved, it reverts to the original ones. Also, I am running the latest version

  • I am having trouble with my bookmark bar changing order between my devices. I have them organized for convenience, but when I arrange them on one device they change on the others to a different order. how can I fix this?

    I have 2 desktops and a laptops connected by Firefox sync which I set up at some time during the beta. I have several folders, dividers, and bookmarks on the toolbar which I try to keep organized based on their use (web design, hardware/tech support sites, personal, etc) but when I arrange them on one computer it screws them up on the others. I would like for it either to keep them in the same order on all machines, or at least have to arrange them on each machine separately without them affecting the other so they stay where I put them. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

    This is what I'd suggest get your machines matched. Sync your machines so all data is on both. Then pick one to get all of your organizing as you want it. (or do this before you even setup sync) Then, when you do your initial sync from that organized machine, select: replace all other devices with this computers data. (you can also do that as Manage Account > reset sync.
    After that, changes in order on one machine should be reflected on the other. Remember though Sync '''merges ''' the data from your machines. If you work on two machines side by side and make order changes on both without syncing either, once you do sync, Sync will have to again figure out how to merge the incongruities, which may not be what you expect.. Be careful, if order is important to you.

  • Having problems with text, some images are not displaying properly

    when opening an image( as screenshot) in firefox support forum, the close button is not showing instead a number code is shown in a box

    That is a font problem.<br />
    It looks that the font that is used doesn't have a glyph for this character: &amp;#x2716; - &#x2716;
    *http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/dingbats.html
    You can consider to install the DejaVu font.
    *http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html
    *http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
    I see more little boxes with a hex code that indicate that the used font is missing those glyphs and Firefox doesn't seem to be looking for them in another font as would normally happen.
