I have a grafics card 8500gt and recently i install rail road tycoon and then when i ran it for the first time my pc screen went off and another screen came up and it says that my pc frequency is out of frequency and i cant change it. please can u help me get my frequency back in order so that i can put my grafics card back in my pc cause right now i am running on my onboard grafics card.
It sounds like the frequency referred to is the monitor's frequency. If it's an LCD monitor, the frequency is usually 60Hz. If you are using a VGA cable, it's guessing the frequency and has guessed wrong.
The other possibility is that the Railroad Tycoon game sets the screen resolution and frequency to something your monitor is not capable of displaying. It sees a nice graphics card and shoots the settings to the top of the range. If you can change the settings before playing the game, you might get it to work.

The chances are that you have an old motherboard which is not compatable with the new graphic card. Or you may be running windows 98 and are downloading the driver for xp or visa versa. The probable solution, will be to sell the new card on ebay and buy the best old card you can off ebay. Or just make do with the card you already had in your computer. If you are determined to have a better graphics card. A motherboard upgrade with better graphic card may be the best answer or buy a better spec pc second hand if you don't have much money. You'll probably waiste a lot of time trying to get the new card to work and it probably never will.

Try to set your PCI-E card as a first one in BIOS. There also should be an option to turn off onboard video.
