I couldn't install geforce 8400

Do you know how to install a Graphic card EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400 in a PC running Vista 32x?

So far I've spent two weeks looking a solution but it seems almost imposible.

When I try to install the card always get an ansewr saying that system could not find any driver for this hardware.

This is what I have done:
1. clear MOS and update it
2. try almost every driver from mobo manufacturer (Biostar pm4900), form NVIDIA, from EVGA.
3. set PCI priority in Bios
4. unistall VGA drivers for the Moboard.

I'm really desperate, my next step could be trhow it by the window.

Re: I couldn't install geforce 8400

did you try the disc that should have come with the card or get drivers from the card maker?
because its not going to find any drivers in the windows system you have to install them yourself

Have a look in the BIOS for something like :

"Enable If No Ext PEG"

and

"Init Display First" =PEG

Otherwise, have a look through the manual:

Re: I couldn't install geforce 8400

I have already tried both solutions but didn't work.
First, whenever I insert the disk that comes with my graphic card I get a message that It could'nt find any driver for my hardware.
And in my BIOS there isn't anything like "Enable If No Ext PEG".
I apreciatte your contributions and I hope someone could help me.
