Replies Dickij03 Posted at 6:21 am on April 12, 2008 Sounds like a duff card tbh. 8600 requires very little power aswell.. Have you installed the latest nvidia drivers? drifting Posted at 5:19 pm on April 11, 2008 Make sure that the mobo is set to enable the slot, the power connector is connected (I dont think that the 8600 requires one though) and that your PSU is large enough. If that doesnt work, email EVGA and/or HP. espresso8097 Posted at 8:33 am on April 11, 2008 Did you install driver?  Did you configure your resolution and quality (is it set to 8bit when it should be 32bit?)? gmw666 Posted at 6:36 am on April 11, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations All 4 previous replies displayed.
