Graphic cards, computer screen, and games...

Q. I installed a new graphiccard on my PC as the game I bought for my son (Oblivion) wouldn't work with the one I had. I am not a computer wwhiz but I think it went okay... I installed the driver ( I think), but when I switch the computer screen lead to the new card, even tthoughit seems to rrecognizeit (black screen at the very beginning says "NVidia"), after that the whole screen goes black, and I have to re attach the computer screen to the old slot. I am worried about uuninstalling or rather disabling the old card,because if i do and it doesn't work, then I have no way of getting it back!! (I mean, I'll only have black screens right?). Please help, I'm only a mum. I'm trying my best but it is now beyond me...

A. Restart your computer, and press the del button while it is starting up (if del doesn't work, try any of the options here: http://forums.techguy.org/tech-tips-tricks/39456-bios-keys-different-systems.html). You should be in the BIOS now. Navigate to the performance area, or wherever you can find something about a graphics card. Now, turn external on to primary, and disable the integrated.

I know it sounds complicated, but it really isn't! You can do this easily.


computer problems. black screen when gaming.?
Q. whenever i'm playing a game on steam(tf2 or l4d) sooner or later my screen will go black and loop the last sound played, no matter how low I put the settings it always does this. my graphic card should be able to handle this game easily. also there is no way I can do anything once the screens gone black. some times it works for a long time and is fine. but most of the time it does this.

A. If your computer freezes while playing a game, particularly a very graphics-intensive one, it can mean your computer doesn't have high enough specs. Your graphics card isn't the only factor contributing to your system's performance, dozens of other things effect it. Depending on how new your computer is and whether you upgraded your graphics card, you may have a motherboard too slow to handle your upgraded card. The motherboard is very expensive to replace so if this is the case the best thing is probably to remove your upgraded graphics card, buy a computer with a faster motherboard and processor, and put your old card in. It may be that you don't have enough RAM to play the game, so this is just a simple matter of going to your local electronics store, buying some new ram (usually only $50- $100) and putting it in. Another option is to try defragmenting your machine's hard drive.

Hope this helps!
