Hi, I replaced the card shown in the specs given below because I couldn't update it. I replaced it with this one Palit G210 1GB DDR3 Dual-Link DVI VGA HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card.
When I restarted my pc, well that was the problem, it didn't restart. It went into startup repair and couldn't be repaired by startup repair. (Just forget the exact phrase).
Anyway, the only way I could get back into the pc was to go into safe mode and remove the driver and everything else associated, before the pc would start normally again.
I tried this with 2 different G210 cards as I was told my pc would take it and they were usually a fairly reliable card. The first one a repair place told me was faulty, but the exact same thing has happened with a brand new card. It doesn't matter whether the driver comes from the cd, from NVidia or from Windows update, the same thing happens, so I can't say whether it's the driver, or some of the other components that now come along on the Geforce Experience cd that my pc maybe can't handle.
Suffice to say it doesn't work and I think it's time I tried a different make of card.
I'm not up to speed on what works with what in hardware, so perhaps someone could have a look at my specs please and suggest a different make of card that would work with what I've got. I don't game and only need the card for pictures and videos.
