[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1049004, member: 369937"] If that PC is an HP then be very careful as to what video card you get for it, they only use an authorized list of video cards for that make/model/year. I had a customer that wanted an upgrade to a better video card with more video ram, we tried a new top of the line card, it worked for a few days till the PC locked up, I tried everything, then though .... Gee is the video card bad?... Removed it and rebooted, it worked good on the internal video. Contacted the video card manufacture and low and behold that card was too new for his PC, it was not in the list stored in the BIOS for that motherboard. So be very careful as to what you put into an HP machine, if it is an HP then contact HP for the correct type/brand to install for your PC. [/QUOTE]
