God-Tier computer geeks, I needs halp

Yes, it works with onboard graphics, but none of the display resolutions available are correct.

They're all either squashed or too wide. And if I change them and reboot, all I get is a bright white screen, no display, just a mouse cursor.

You'll need to completely uninstall the nVidia drivers and install the latest correct AMD drivers as well. That's just driver stuff.

Anyway, it might do that for you once it's connected to the internet. If your chipset drivers aren't up to date then it could be causing the issue with the other graphics card.

Have you tried releasing and renewing your ipconfig yet?

On boot up if you hit ESC it should give you several options. I am trying to remember the exact name from the list you select. Once in there you should be able to run a system check. It will go through all the components on the PC.

Also have you tried switching back to the basic card the PC came with? Does it give the same errors?

Have you tried going back to the original OS for the computer?

A PCIe 2.0 card will work just fine in a 1.0 slot. They are backward-compatible.

Maybe if it had a 6pin on the end of it to pull power from somewhere else.

Have you gotten it working on the onboard graphics yet?

[Jand3rson]

Nothing has been overclocked, but here's what I can find:

Total Memory: 4194304K

PnP/PCI CONFIGURATIONS

Reset Configuration Data [Disabled]
PCI/VGA Pallette Snoop [Disabled]
PCI latency Timer [64]

**PCI Express Relative Items**
Maximum Payload Size [4096]

That's all I could find that seemed relevant. Can't find where to do a system check in the BIOS.

Also on boot up go into the bios and run a system check. The error code 43 could be caused by another faulty component/driver on the PC. Let me know if you get any other issues. Also check through your boot priorities. Make sure they are set correctly.

Sorry, Code 43.

Not sure how to configure the GPU in the BIOS, never had to do that before.

Can you pull up the Bios and give me the settings for the GPU/Ram etc? Is everything clocked within spec?

[Jand3rson]

Is it code 34 or 43? Does it give you information on the code?

Different codes can be communicated by different components in the PC and could provide more information.

Sorry, Code 43. It just says "Windows has stopped this device because it reported problems. (Code 43)"

[future rs]

Have you gone into the bios and set the settings for the GPU manually?

[future rs]

Still nothing on either front. Re-installed Windows, and I still get the Code 34 error on the graphics card, and no internet.

I do not understand this one bit.

How is everything else in the unit? It has a very small power supply it seems. Also are you running 32 or 64bit? Did you go through and check all of your settings in the bios per manufacturer recommendations? Check you clocking for ram and GPU etc.

And like recommended I would suggest reformatting the unit.

EDIT: sorry I forgot you upgraded the PS.

[Komzorz]

You're putting a PCIe 2.0 graphics card in a PCIe 1.0 slot. It's fucking up when it requests more juice because the spec was doubled in the later versions. Pretty sure, anyway.

Remove your videocard and get it running through the onboard graphics. If your code 34 still happens, there's something much more sinister afoot.

For the other thing, sounds like you don't have a valid IP configuration. Ensure you've got DHCP enabled and working correctly (probably restart the router for good measure), do an ipconfig /release followed by an ipconfig /renew in a cmd window. Win7 also has a troubleshoot feature in the Network and Sharing Center.

[Jand3rson]

no, it does not.

he can use the internet from whatever device he's on now.

router's fine, problem is localized to this asus computer.

This. Every other internet-capable device in the house is functioning properly.
