Nvidia FX 5200 Video Card Fix

[madjim- with the Lord]

Thanks Mark,

I cleaned the contacts on the card and set the bios to "PCI" with the same results. When I'm using the NVIDIA control panel and click between the two 3D Setting options, the TV flashes to blue and back every time. The card is working but the flashing to blue and back on the TV screen is a pain. I don't get this on my show machine which uses an ATI card.

I don't have any paperwork on the card since it came with the machine it was in. I see a white. 2 pin cable connector on the card. Is this for power? I don't want to blow it up.

Hey Jim, wich card do you have?

Look at the pics and tell me if this is the card on the left. If so, the little 1/4" plug is for a fan not a 12V power. The 12v will be a molex connector like goes to a hard drive. I was thinking of the FX5200 Ultra that has the evternal power connector.

It doesn't look like any of these cards. Mine is an older one.
