 | | Lee Armstrong on December 29, 2003 | Verto fx5200 problem
Right here goes:
I bought a Verto GeForce FX5200 PCI 128MB video card today and 6 hours later, it's still not working.
I have done the following: Removed the old drivers for my onboard graphics. Disabled the onboard graphics in the bios. Installed the new card and software. Selected PCI as primary graphics in the bios. Updated the drivers supplied to the latest version. Updated my monitor drivers. Here's the problem:
When I reboot with the onboard graphics disabled, everything starts fine..... I get a little message that says that I am using an nVidia FX5200 card just before windows boots. I then get the "Windows XP is loading" progress bar. Then, when by rights my background image and icons should appear and the programmes start loading onto the start bar, my screen goes black and after maybe 5 seconds, my monitor goes onto standby. Evenything is still there - if I click randomly with the mouse, I get the windows error beeps etc, I just can't see anything.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
My system is:
1.7Ghz Intel III Celeron proc
256MB Ram
Mitak motherboard (version A01 I think?)
Soundblaster Live soundcard
DVD/RW drive
And of course a new graphics card that I'm having no luck with.
Cheers,
Lee. |

Lee,
That sounds like an awefully weird problem. Have you tried booting in safe mode? It may be that Windows is still using settings that were suited for your old video card and that are incompatible with your new one.
If booting in safe mode does not solve the problem, perhaps you can try hooking up your monitor to your old video port and see if somehow your old motherboard video card is still active and Windows is using it as its primary video adapter.
Wishing you luck,
Eric Georgieff |

| | Lee Armstrong on December 30, 2003 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Thanks Eric. I'll try booting in safe mode.
I have tried plugging my monitor into my onboard when I have the new card installed and have had some interesting results.
If I have the onboard selected in the bios and plug the monitor into the onboard when there are no drivers for the afore mentioned onboard card installed, I can boot into windows as normal with or without the new card, but can only display in 640x480 and 16 colours - I guess because there are no onboard drivers available.
If I plug it in when I have drivers for both cards installed (again selecting the onboard in the bios because of the black screen problem), I can boot into windows as normal, with the correct resolution and number of colours. I can then go to the device manager, disable the onboard in windows and enable the Verto FX5200. This seems fine - I know it's working straight away as all the options in "display" change - i get the option of two monitors for example. However, when I rebooted, something goes very wrong. I lose all the icons on my desktop and the start bar disappeares. I think this is because I still have the onbaord selected in the bios, but had disabled it in windows..... I'm not sure. Anyway as soon as I disabled the 5200 and reenabled the onboard (which is an Intel Extreme 82845G by the way) everything was back to normal.
Thanks for your post eric. I'll give it a go.
Happy new year
Lee. |

well i had the same problem as u, i bought a fx5200 installed it and when windows tried to load up my moniter went into standby, the only way i got around the problem and was a drastic measure was to format the pc and install windows again and it WORKED :).... so if u cant get it to work thats the way it worked for me..all i'd like to know is if anyone knows a way to turn the onboard Extreme 82845G off in bios cos i dont see a option to do so...in device manager it still says i have 2 video cards so would like to know a way of getting rid of this without just disabling it in device manager |

While I was updating my video card bios (geforce 5200) God thought he'd/she'd play joke on me, and make the power go out. So now (even if I tell Computer bios to use onboard video adapter) it just beeps 5-7 times and then monitors goes into standby.....after a moment or 2 I hear windows start-up music.....but I can not re-flash bios to card....basically the eprom bios has been deleted from firmware (its got a blank mind) any suggestions on how to get the bios installed onto my video card again

I got a Leadtek nVidia GF FX5700 256MB A360-TD VIVO graphics card and after about half a year I got my motherboard replaced as my pc got stuck at the blue screen. Now few months later another problem accured. After the windows XP loading screen my screen goes black and stays that way. Similar to you guys.
In general I noticed that my computer goes stuck more and more often which is extremely annoying. Even though it works fine in safe mode and after a few restarts it seems to work fine but ofcourse its bad for my pc. Therefor I'm going to reinstall my pc Hoping that will fix the problem. |

| | cosgrove on June 28, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Don't know if this will help anyone at this late stage but i found that restarting XP in VGA mode then re-installing the graphics card stopped this problem. Go into device manager and delete the graphics card, then restart in VGA mode again, and run the nvidia setup program you get with the drivers, then restart as normal - worked for me. |
|
| | on July 3, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Yes those who are having problems with black screen boots.. the problem is your video drivers. Boot into safe mode and unstill all video drivers and reboot. It will then prompt to reinsall your video drivers. Worked for me. |
|
| | sean on July 13, 2005 | Video Output randomly disappears.
i'm suffering the same problems, but i'm reluctant to uninstall video drivers, since i have not made andy changes to software or hardware recently. Where would they be reinstalled from, im unsure of teh whereabouts of my load discs. thanks any help appreciated. sean |

| | cosgrove on July 13, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
If you don't have the drivers for the card then go to www.nvidia.com and click on download drivers, select graphics cards, geforce, and windows XP. Download the drivers to somewhere like the desktop. Then start the computer in vga mode - restart the machine and press f8 repeatedly during startup, after the bios screen, and select start computer in vga mode. When the system boots click start - right click my computer, and select properties. Click the hardware tab and click device manager. Click the + next to display adapters, and right click the graphics card, select uninstall, and confirm that you want this on the popup. Restart the machine and start in vga mode as before. Run the setup program that you downloaded earlier. Restart the machine and hopefully it should work as normal.
Don't know what your level of experience with computers is so I have hopefully made this straightforward but not too patronising. Any problems just post again. |

I installed the G force fx 5500 and was getting the same problem but I connected to the on board card and it would work after boot up so I connected two monitors on the G force I would get the boot up and on the onboard I would get the start up then on the settings it showed two monitors if one is not active right clic and enable then look where you have the G force card and then use it as the primery one it worked for me |

| | Kelly on August 9, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
I have the same problem also. I had SYSTEM MECHANIC do the UNDO changes on my pc - rebooted my pc --- since rebooting I cannot access my desktop at all - all I get is a black screen. The mouse works perfectly, it's just the screen is black. I have rebooted using bootdisk (BART'S PE) and it says windows was fixed. Yet, I rebooted and the screen is still black. I don't think that it's my video card because when I used the bootdisk of Bart's PE all the graphics are there. My windows boots well, the welcome windows xp comes on, but the desktop is black. Same thing with SAFE MODE. Screen is completely black. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to avoid doing a full recovery system as I dont want to lose my data. IF anyone can help me save my data in ms-dos (what to do, commands, etc), it would be so great. Please, help. |

| | Don on August 9, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
In all these posts, I have not seen any mention of disabling your virus scanner before attempting to install any nVidia graphics drivers?
This is an absolute must and is always stated as a clear requirement in any nVidia graphics driver installation readme file. Also by disabling, I mean really turning off virus checking. I run Symantec corp AV and I have found out the only way of fully turning it off is to stop and disable every XP service related to it.
Finally, there is a free utility called "DriveClearer" that will totally remove all driver file references. It works especially well at removing exisiting nVidia graphic drivers.
Needs to be run in safe mode after you have previously removed your old drivers via preferably, add/remove programs option or secondly, device manager.
Note: make sure you backup your original graphics drivers in case you need to reinstall them! |

| | don on September 1, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Well, I installed an Asus FX5200 based card on low end Compaq system I just bought for my daughter with no problems at all.
I did have to uninstall the onboard VIA Chrome drivers though. I originally just wanted to disable them but the system wouldn't let me.
Didn't even have to fool with the BIOS. The motherboard has an auto-detect feature that immediately senses the AGP card.
Install the nVidia drivers included on the ASUS CD and that was it. Did not install anything else including the ASUS drivers. |

| | Damian on September 5, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Hi, I have just bought the FX5200 and after booting up my pc I tried to install the drivers from the disc. There are 3 drivers to install on the CD, two of which install fine but the main driver does not. It attempts to install it, a bar comes up which shows progress but it then says error and that it could not install the driver.
Also I am thinking of unistalling the two drivers which have been successful and starting again but I don't know how to uninstall them because there is nothing in 'Add/Remove'?
Can anyone help on these issues please? |
|
| | don on September 5, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Damian,
Really don't know what 3 drivers you are refering to one the ASUS installation CD. I recall that there were the nVidia AGP drivers, the ASUS AGP drivers, and various ASUS utility drivers on the CD.
As I indicated in my prior post, all I did was install the nVidia drivers after I had uninstalled the onboard video drivers that came with the PC, shut down the PC, installed the ASUS video card, rebooted, and installed the nVidia drivers off of the ASUS installation CD. Note: if you originally had onboard video installed on your PC, some PCs require onboard via to be disabled in the BIOS before loading either the nVidia or the ASUS video drivers.
It sounds to me that you tried to load possibly both the nVidia and ASUS graphics drivers? You must install only one of those. I chose the NVidia driver since I had read web posts about problems with the ASUS graphics drivers and they are also not WDM Microsoft certified.
I would suggest you start all over again. The following applies to WIN XP Home and Pro only.
1. Download DriveClearner Pro and install it. Also read all documentation included with it to understand how to use it. You can get it here:
http://www.drivercleaner.net/
2. Uninstall all existing graphics drivers while running WIN XP. If no entries exist for them in add/remove programs, then do Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager. Expand the entry for display adapters. You should see an entry for FX5200. Right click on that and left click on "Uninstall" to uninstall the existing FX5200 driver. Also if other display adapters exist, you want to uninstall those.
3. Boot into safe mode and run DriveCleaner Pro and select the option to remove all existing graphics drivers. Be careful here. DriveClearer has the capability to remove all existing chipset, audio, etc. drivers along with graphics drivers. Make sure you only select the graphics drivers option.
4. Reboot into WIN XP. It will either auto install the default VGA driver if your running SP1 or what appears to be a "stub" nVidia driver if your running SP2.
5. Install either the nVidia graphics or the ASUS graphics driver from the ASUS CD. Don't install both! I recommend the nVidia driver since my PC ran fine with it. Install the ASUS utility software at your discretion. I did not install it.
6. Reboot your PC if requested and you should be up and running. |

| | Damian on September 13, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Ok, I have now successfully disabled the on board graphics, installed the new card and installed the drivers BUT the only reason I bought this card was to play CM5 and when I click play game, nothing happens it just stays on the desktop, although it says the game is using 99%CPU, so why can't I see the game?
Someone suggested to me buying this 'Y' wire which goes inside my tower and has 3 ends, 1 connects to my graphics card, the other to another wire thingy inside my tower and i'm not sure about the 3rd end. Anyone help or heard of this? |

| | don on September 13, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
I am not a gamer, so I can't help you much on that issue.
Sounds like there are some configuration settings for the game software that are not setup correctly.
If you installed the game software before your latest reinstall of the AGP graphics drivers, it's highly likely that the game software graphics settings aren't correct. If that's the case, I would uninstall the game software and reboot. Then reinstall the game software and see if that does the trick. |

| | Kelly on September 14, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Hi, I had the same problem not too long ago - frustrating, I know. Until I found this website. Go here, download the BART PE --- save it on your disk. Once done, leave the disc inside the pc, then restart your pc. This will help you fix the problem, especially for those who cannot run safe mode! Goodluck. Here's the website.

umm my problem seems similiar but with an added twist. When my screen blanks out and the monitor goes to standby, I have to reboot. Only the computer reboots and still has the standby problem. I found that the only way I could get the monitor to display anything was to reboot and reset it really fast right after pressign the power button. This worked for a while but now my monitor(s) all go to standby when I turn on the computer, no exceptions. Any thoughts? |

| | Al on December 2, 2005 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
I have an Asus AGP card using the Nvidia fx5200 chipset (128mb) I just bought it online. Put it in an Asus AV133 Main board and experienced strange behavior. I went to change the file view in "My Computer" (My computer > Tool menu > File type tab) when it goes to display whats in the list the screen goes blank but the computer still runs. Restart is the only fix, but I did try the advice about Boot into VGA Mode...., which I thought worked... But I was wrong, I tested the system ("MY computer" Test I mentioned above) immediately after installing the drivers and restarting and it worked fine.
Later I was changing settings and decided to lower the "Color Depth" or "Display colors" in Display Properties down form 32bit to 16bit. After doing this I thought I might try ("MY computer" Test I mentioned above) and BINGO! that's all she wrote. I restarted and reset the color to 32bit and tried ("MY computer" Test I mentioned above) and all was well.
I don't know if this will help anyone else but it may. Good luck |

i've been given this graphic card PNY FX 5200
details on the board are:
GF05200A8D120-M
503009253
PO#295673
VCGFX52APB
51492 22765
It has two d-type monitor outputs and one s-video output
I've been able to get the card to output on the secondary monitor, there are no options in the software (Nvidia lastest drivers)
I think i've tracked it down to the fact that card may have the wrong bios, because it when booting it doesn't say it's a PNY, it's running on 4.32.20.75.00, can anyone send me the lastest correct bios for my card, or tell me where i can get it, please? |

I just installed a FX 5200 and when I put the cd in. A messesge came up and said " the VGA detected seems not XFXs product. Please go to www.nvidia.com to get the driver for the other NVIDIA VGA". so I went could not find what I needed. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks |
|
| | Don on January 12, 2006 | RE: Verto fx5200 problem
Sounds to me that whomever you bought the graphics card from might not have given you XFX card?
I would first contact the selling merchant and explain the situation and see if they would ship you a replacement. If that doesn't work, then determine that the card is really a FX5200. You can do that a number of ways; the easiest being using WIN XP's (if that is you OS) device manager. If the card is indeed a FX5200, you can find a device driver for it at www.nVidia.com |

I have the weirest problem of all with my PNY GEFORCE FX5200/128MB. When I boot my computer the boot screen and all others after that appear as garbage. I believe this is caused by the language the GEFORCE bios are flashed in. When I put another card in the problem disappears. question: how do I flash the bios on thje card so it is in English and not some other language? if someone out there has a link I would appreciate your help to direct me to how to fix this problem. |

| | Kim Bernard on May 30, 2006 | Galaxy GeForce 6600
My husband bought a new Geforce 6600 a while back. We had no problems installing it because, well, we basically rebuilt his computer at the same time (the motherboard had just given out -- he has the worst luck...)
Well, it's only a few months old and it started doing something WEIRD. Every so often, on boot-up, the screen looks like a scrambled mess and continues to be so straight through loading and running Windows. You can tell what it's doing, but it's like everything is visually scrambled up -- I mean everything. Nothing else seems the matter, and since it's that way from the moment of start-up, it must be a hardware problem. Should we check the wiring? Is it possible that he's had bad luck again and this card's (or the motherboard's) a lemon?
Any help is appreciated. |
