no PC stated,
NO OS stated, XP?"
so you posted only a mobo name .
HP does not reverse index PC by boards,sorry !
why not post what PC this is.??????
did you find the mobo in a garage sale that it?
AGP card, added,
but your steps were all wrong, if you had read the MS steps
or the manual for that card first you'd have done right.
what is right. it's simple
have internet working at all times. (XP is hopeless now VISTA)
in you unstated OS,
go to device manager.
pick video card, and right click it and delete the driver from the old video chip, (be that the old APG card or the old onboard chip)
unstated by you which it was.
then turn off PC, start ,button off. "windows shut down"
now pull line cord to pc
next , push power to discharge all stored energy in the PC
or risk damage,
now PC is off. and discharged;
insert the new card
power on
XP or Vista will fail, unless you have the CD matching that card.
the PC then loads the driver,
if no real driver is present, from nvida, your OS runs a dumbb one.
vastly limited driver.. but screen does work and PC not die or crash
then go to nivia, dot com and get your driver, if your CD is missing.
what does freeze mean? ive no idea, (10 in my mine)
mouse dead. start button dead.?
or PC crashes, or PC BSOD'S, WITH BLUE SCREEN ERRORS
RUNNING ANY WRONG VIDEO DRIVER, DOES THAT.
ONE CAN PRELOAD THE GFORCE DRIVER FIRST
CLICK GFORCE
PICK GFORCE 5 FX SERIES
the pick your unstated OS.
windows ME through W7 is supported, see it?
load that first
then reboot , put in new card, and it might PNP ok
- recap: no os or PC staTED
- CD missing with card?
- XP or VISTA is dead,MS shut down Plug and pray.
- get the driver form Nvida:? why not? its costs you zero $
- internet connected is a must. are you?>Ethernet best.
