I have a Geforce 6800 (I think it's a GT, the label doesn't say) that I got used. It worked fine on my old computer, which ran Ubuntu. A problem arose when I swapped computers though. With the Geforce plugged into my current computer (which has the same motherboard as a Dell Inspiron 530, and now I couldn't figure out what they have.)
Windows boots up normally, although I have static lines going up and down my screen through the boot up phase. When windows takes over from the boot-up sequence the screen remains black. I have tried setting the computer to use the on board graphics card, and then installing the drivers, but my computer says that no graphics card can be detected. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem? The current computer runs Windows 7 if that will help at all.
