New Video card problem?

I just bought a new video card because my old one (geforce 9800 gt) **** out. So I put in this new one (Geforce 9400 gt) and its doing the same thing, even after I update the drivers.

The instructions says to plug it into my power source but I have NO idea where the plug would be. The picture doesn't match what I have you know?



PLEASE HALP

-thanks|||What's the problem? If this card is doing same exact thing as the old card then it is not video card. You just mention about power source for the new video card. The 9400GT does not need a PCI-E 2.0 powerr connector like most new cards. Just make sure you have the minimum requirements and the pci slot is enabled from bios. Good luck.



System Requirements: 350W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 18A or more*

*Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor|||That card does not need a power source.



I have seen the problem I think you are talking about. Is the NVidia driver telling you that it is not receiving enough power?

This is a pain in the a$$$ and is difficult to track down.



Usually down to power connectors or weak/faulty PSU so check/change the connectors around in the PC to see if this helps



Use this http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_unin…

to completely uninstall your nvidia drivers, do exactly as the instructions say deleting the registry entries also. then get an 8 series driver from nvidia and re install. turn anti virus off while doing all this.



Note added. You could always change the card for ati radeon 4650 which is cheap and faster and will ignore the nvidia drivers.|||hum the ports are in a different order too...that's weird they usually don't do that.



i know this doesnt help you much, but i would just take it back to the store, you dont want to have the slightest of issues when you first get a vid card they just get worse.



buy ati =)|||You need a computer power supply with at least 18A on the +12 Volt rail.



I don't see the usual 12 volt power connector and PNY's support and website sucks.



Looking at other 9400 GT cards, it is apparent there are no power connector on cards with this chip.
