My old graphics card, an ATI Radeon X300, was unusable unless I manually installed the drivers after a reboot. In device manager I would get the error: Code 10, this device cannot start. Thinking it was a faulty card, I lived with it. I recently upgraded to an Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS, thinking there shouldn't be any problems with it, but in Device Manager, I get the same error message (Code 10). I have installed the card correctly, the BIOS seems to be in perfect settings. Does anyone have any ideas?
