I beleive your cards model number is PVT86JYAHG

The model number would be helpful in determining exactly which card you have but, s-video should certainly work and they also make an adaptor that converts s-video to component video if that's something that you want. You will have to, if you haven't already, get into "control panel" and then get into "personalization". There you should see your two monitors. Here you can adjust your resoulution. You will also have to check in "device manager", click on the box(on right) next to "monitors", it should show your 2 monitors. Right click on each, one at a time, and in the dropdownlist you should see "disable" if you see "enable" click on that and exit. If you see any warnings, !, ?, or a yellow triangle, click on thta and follow proceedure. You may also want to click on the box next to "display adaptors" and check for warnings, right click on and make sure it' also says "disable" in list with both monitors connected.

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electic extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope this helps

Check your computer's RAM cards. On them should be a serial number. Punch that number into a search engine (probably on someone else's computer since you need to open up your own) and see what type of system memory you have.

DDR3 is very common in newer computers, so having DDR2 memory may be your problem.

If your graphics card works on another pc but not on yours then you should try another graphics card on your pc. If it also doesn't work it means it's a problem with your motherboard.

format your computer and check all plug from your unit to the monitor..and make sure to update your anti virus.. have a nice day...

No the GeForce 6 and 7 series video-cards were the first GeForce cards to start supporting VIVO

the beeps are post during post the very first work is done by the ram,all the memory in the ram is first transferred to the hard disk,and remains active untill turned off.

make sure that your RAM is securely seated

Not a driver problem - that red dust is oxides from the components of the capacitor. Without that part the video card works only at the most basic level. Try to replace it or the card is dead.

I have this problem before and I tried to spend some time to sort it out but no success, the only way to resolve this is to upgrade (if still applicable) or buy a new computer.

Download the driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64-266.58-whql-driver.html

You said 8500 GT in your title and 8500 GS in your submission. Make sure you have the correct model for the driver your downloading. You are on Windows XP? If your card is 8800GT download driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-266.58-whql-driver.html If your card is 8800GS downlaod driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-266.58-whql-driver.html

This is Nvidias's download link. I will outline your entries.
1 Product Type-GeForce
2 Product Serires- Ge Force 5 FX series
3 Product GeForce-FX 5500
Select your o/s and pick your download.

I would suggest you lower your resolution settings from your video card to your monitor. Possibly they are to high for your monitor to handle. Go into control panel to change your settings at a lower rate and see if it runs any better.

I hope this helps you out if so please leave me some feed back.
