I can't answer questions which involve hardware troubleshooting or software errors for these questions please refer to Graphics card manufacturer support.
Experience I have a vast experience of Graphics card upgrading and I know the PC graphics cards scenario since 1994.
Question my card used to work propoerly... i installed an ethernet controller... then it stopped working.... for example: i took every other pci card off, but when ever i put the geforce inside my case it feels like the bios can't read it, my screen shows:"power saving massage" ... i have another card at home so i place it in the agp slot and it started normally.... but when i replaced it again with the nvidia, the computer just stopped at the beginning before windows sign shows up.... just a massage:"power saving on my screen... need fast reply
Answer Dear Dannyjoblack,
I think you Graphics card hardware is faulty but you should try to confirm it.
First remove card & vga driver then download latest vga driver fron Nvidia web site.
Now install the Graphics card and without installing driver if you encounter same error then its hardware fault,
if no error shows then install latest driver.
If you got the error then its graphics card hardware fault then return your card to the manufacture for replacement.
