8400gs from leadtek (also got my RAM YAY)
i got it today, looked good, nothing externally wrong with it, i take out my old ATI 9250 PRO (OLD) and input the 8400gs, i start vista and that run fine, and then it found the hardware, and installed the basic driver, i opened the CD for driver installation, and nothing was on the CD (error one)
then i manually tracked down the drivers i needed from this site, downloaded and installed both the Geforce driver, and ntune, i restarted my machine and i received a CODE
0x00000124
error from windows
i looked that up on Micro$oft, its a un-fixable bug lol my hardware was bad it told me
this isnt the first time i got this error, however this is the first time i got it, with newly installed hardware
my set-up:
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Processor - 2.40GHz, 1MB Cache, 1000MHz (2000 MT/s) Processor
Asus A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 Motherboard
Ultra Grid ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front USB and Audio Ports and Ultra V-Series 500-Watt Power Supply
two 256 sticks of DDR 400 and a brand new 512(ddr 400) stick too
current gfx chip = ATI 9250PRO...
----
currently im running on my linux, thankfully i have it, i would hate not to have it now, just in case windows does die
linux couldnt pick up the new card either
---
i dont know what ill do, but the last time i received this same hardware error code, i let it sit, and then tried to boot my vista install disk and it worked (however im having other problems since vista install of not being able to boot disks
)
it would be most thanked if i could get any sort of helpful response, ill be checking back later today, i started working on this around 12:10 am (CST) and its now 5:00am
