Graphics card upgrade

[henrynicholson]

Me again...

I installed directx 9.0C and tried media portal. It loaded up the new setup wizard where the system hung. This did at least give me a new log which is:

You have enabled the Hauppauge remote control but don't have the IR driver part installed properly. I think the log says it all. :wink:

[henrynicholson]

And do you think that is what causes it to freeze? It never did when I had the previous card and also, I haven't got far enough into the setup to enable the remote, where would i go about disabling it.

Also, I've found the computer completely crashes when I run direct 3d test and direct draw test in dx diag.

Sorry if I keep asking stupid questions

[jawbroken]

It does sound like perhaps the remote is not the problem (or at least not the only problem) as the DirectX tests are also failing. I have no idea what could be causing this as you have reinstalled windows, changed drivers, etc. I would get support from your video card manufacturer about the DirectX issues, if you can.

[henrynicholson]

Do you think there could be something physically wrong with the graphics card or is that fairly unlikely?

I only bought the damn thing because I need the tv-out as my flatmate keeps complaining about the monitor which now accompanies the tv in the front room. Slightly random question...

Is there such a thing as a tv-out card which only does that and would run along side an agp graphics card?

[Callifo]

Not thats supported by MP no. Only the card doing the tv out can use the DX acceleration.
