Hi there, I have just bought an Nvidia GTS 450 and I had hoped to install it into my Pegatron M2N78-LA motherboard (it has an integrated Nvidia Geforce 9100), but whenever I try booting up my computer with the card in, my monitor stays idle and my computer boots for about a minute before it crashes.
Before installing my new card, I went into the device manager and disabled my integrated chip in safemode, powered off my system, and then popped my card in.
A word of note: the first time i tried installing my new Nvidia, I accidentally chose to Uninstall the integrated card on the Device Manager rather than disabling it, but the next time I booted my system without my new card in it, it automatically downloaded drivers for the integrated card and seemingly works fine.
I've narrowed my problem down to two possible options:
1. My new GTS 450 is incompatible with my motherboard
2. The drivers for my new hardware are all f*cked up
If you could give me any advice at all that may help, I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!|||Boot into VGA mode, then install the drivers.

HPs specs are always severely lacking in details so you will probably have to call them, but it probably is.
The other issue is that they don't tell what power supply you have. You may be able to see read it on the side.

if i get a video card and it requires 300w and my pc only has 300w psu is it ok or should i get a higher psu like 400w?

If you don't get a larger power supply, this is what will happen. You will reach the current limit of your voltage bus by just turning your computer on. The voltage will be reduced by your power supply to solve the over current condition safely. The voltage will then drop below what the chips in your computer can operate and they will stop working without having a safe shut down. This can damage your system.
It is better to spend a little bit more to get the largest fit, form, and function power supply you can find. It is the least expensive way to go.|||since its a "factory" PSU its not of the best quality and will probably take the card but burn out early. The general rule of thumb is...use the 20% rule that is, what ever you min. video card power is...add 20%. in your case 300W + 20% = 360W or something like this...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

How do i install a video card on my computer?
I have a HP pavilion (model a6642p) with Windows Vista 64-bit, Motherboard mod PEGATRON CORPORATION - Benicia.
It has an onboard video card, with only one monitor hookup. I am trying to set up for dual monitors. I have a video card i swiped from an old computer and was wondering how to get it installed in my computer.
Here is the availible slots:

The video card info is this:
D-Ying M-VO e150630 94V-O

Any help would be great, as i know only enough about computers to get myself into trouble.
I tried to fit the card into the black slot in the picture, it fits in fine. I than tried to turn the computer on, and nothing happened. Nothing came up on my existing monitor. So, i just turned it back off, unplugged it, pulled the card out, and my computer started up just fine.
So, how do i go about getting this thing installed, and setup to run dual monitors?
Thanks in advance for the help!|||Wow, Joel, Para, and AO fail hard. Did you guys even look at the pictures? He tried to install an AGP card into A PCI-E slot. How it actually fits is beyond me. It won't work, sorry dude. You'll need a PCI or PCI-E video card. I can't believe you didn't screw up your motherboard when you plugged in that AGP. If anything you probably ****** up the AGP card. Get a PCI or PCI-E video card, and make sure your power supply is high enough wattage to support it.
- Okay then. If that is all you are planning on doing, something around the lines of a Radeon HD 3450 would be good. They are only like $40 to. A Nvidia GT-210 also wouldn't be a bad choice. Basically anything that is PCI-E with two monitor outputs would work good for you.|||My guess is that you can't use both the integrated and an add-on graphics adapter at the same time, you'll have to choose which one to use. To disable the onboard one you have to enter the BIOS settings and disable the integrated card there.|||It was working fine when you turned the computer off. Of course nothing came up on your existing monitor, you installed a video card. Connect both monitors to the video card's two ports.|||You have to make sure the model of the video card is the right specification for the motherboard. I tried looking up the specs of the video card, but it's in another language so I'm not sure. If the motherboard is PCI-E (pic express) then the video card needs to be PCI-E as well.
When you installed the video card, did you make sure it was all the way in? Sometimes you need to give it a firm push, but nothing too hard.
It's tough to tell from the picture, but does the video card have a slot on the end of it that requires a power plug?
You might want to get an air can to blow onto the video card and onto the motherboard just in case dust is interfering. Make sure you aren't trying to install the card until the computer is fully turned off and the power cable is unplugged, and don't be on carpet while doing this, make sure to put newspaper under your feet.
If none of that helps, the video card may be bad, but it's tough to help much more without being there. Hope some of this helps.|||Your motherboard has one PCI-Express slot (black) plus one old PCI slot (white)

COMPUTER VIDEO CARD HELP!!!?
i HAVE AN HP PAVILION P6122F WITH A MOTHERBOARD Pegatron M2N78-LA Violet-GL8E. i WANT TO BUY A VIDEO(GRAPHICS)CARD. hERE ARE THE MOTHERBOARD SPECS:
Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 9100.
Supports concurrent use of dual displays connected to onboard DVI and VGA connectors.
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards as independent graphics adapters.*
i WANT TO BUY THE
BFG Tech BFGE94512GTE GeForce 9400 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card. wOULD IT BE POSSIBLE AND WILL MY COMPUTER SUPPORT IT?|||As you have a 300W power supply, you will be constrained as to which video cards you may be able to use without buying a new PSU. A quick dig shows the NV 8400 as using about 50W so that shouldn't be a problem.
On a different tack, I would suggest you consider a more powerful video card. The Radeon 4650 and 4670 will not use much more power but do it so much more efficiently. The extra $20 will indeed be very well spent.
Either way,
Good luck.

Video card upgrade for a Pegatron M2N68-LA mother board?
Im looking for a video card upgrade for my compaq Presario cq5500f( Pegatron M2N68-LA mother board) with a 460watt upgrade, im kinda a noob when it comes to getting a video card. When i was looking for a video card, I saw brand names such as ASUS,diamond, galaxy, giga bite, etc. what does that mean?|||That motherboard supports PCI express graphics card. If you are putting a good/true-rated 460 watt power supply, then consider the Radeon HD 5770 or the Geforce GTS 450 graphics cards. These cards come in various brand names because there are several manufacturers such as those you mentioned.
