[attachment=12845:attachment]I purchased avideo card with a VGA out & a DVI out with the intention of connecting aTV with VGA input as well as my monitor My computer is an HP m7360n madia center with a GEFORCE 6200 turbo cache but only
one VGA output. I installed a BFG GEFORCE 7300 GS OC with a VGA DVI & S VIDEO out. With the new card I had stripes and a totaly blurry screen on my monitor no matter which port iused I could not set the resolution up or colours. I checked the monitor and it would only show default and res. &colour would keep going to ;owest level . I called BFG's tech line and was told media centers neede different drivers which I downloaded and installed. It made no differernce . I reinstalled my original video card and it works fine . I sent an E-mail to their service and was told to get power supply info which I sent back and was told it only had 19 A and should have 20A. and to change my power supply. I think this was a cop out and there is either acompatability problem or a defective card. I have installed cards in my other comp. & had no problems like this. I wonder if anyone has more insight or has had similar problems

I'm not sure why I did not get any responses but I ended up resolving my card problem by exchanging it. In the store their tech tried the BFG 7300 gs card in another computer which did te same vertical lines and other problems I had . They exchanged it or the same model card and it works great. I actually decided to change the power supply for a 500 watt one because they were on sale cheap and I'm not sure if it's possible but my computer seems to boot up quicker now.

To answer your question, it may have been a day where many posts were made to this forum and your post was regulated to the second window. This seldom happens but i have seen it happen before. Most of the Techs here cruise thru to se if there is any unanswered threads but seldom will look at the second page. I know i do not. Sorry about the delay in you getting any answer.
