ok, this computer is an old one my dad found. it came as a motherboard of Tyan Trinity 510, AC97 Vinyl Deck Audio drive. it came with an ancient video card, nVidia Riva TNT, so old. I downloaded the updated, since new windows install, even used the nVidia auto-find drivers to get it(couldn't find it normally)..downloaded, ran, 'could not find hardware'...well, got raw drivers, decided to update it manually, pointed to right area, said it couldn't find any to match..odd?
now i have another, very good cards(relative term, used it before, but the other mobo is broken, sorta). nVidia GeForce MX4000, nicely made, handles anything..tried to put it in, series of beeps on boot-up, it was 3 quickly, a pause, then 5 quick ones, nothing else. no screen display at all...
i need to know what to do, honestly. this one mobo, the Tyan, has a 1.7ghz Celeron in it, more than my old 950 mhz Athlon AMD. this one is also the one that can handle my 1 gig RAM stick. i'm using this for games, everything's forcing me otherwise..
