1. Re-start into your bios. Check your settings. if your internal card is
still active, make sure you change the address to your new card.
2. Go into control panel Add or Remove Software, and remove your current
Video drivers.
3. Install new nVidia drivers.
(NOTE: At first run at installation, you may get an error stating "device
drivers not available" so be ready. What you will do, because at first, the
driver EXE will dump your drivers in a temp file, is re-start the setup
program. It will find the temp file with the driver information, and install
the driver correctly. (Should)

Now, if you are upgrading from an ATI chipset, you may want to look for the
ATI loaded software that was part of that driver pack. Many times, the ATI
driver files may go away, but the ATI graphics controls are still there.
Well, they don't jive with nVidia. And vice versa.

Hope this helps :-)

And only with my 7600 GS 512. Screen goes blank, system won't start (I can
start in Safe Mode).

Unlike everyone else, I actually got x64 to install with both cards enabled.
I tried with just one card and no luck... It is starting to look like an
ASUS/nVidia x16 problem though

ASUS P5N32 SLI Deluxe
Pentium D 930
GeForce 7600 GS 512
4 GB Corsair RAM (DDR2 667)

Anyone else got any other ideas. I have redownloaded the drivers 3 times and
no go. I tried a manual install after unzipping the exe file. I'm going
crazy. Could it be that the system can't map that much memory (seems wierd
but I've seen wierder in my days).

black, monitor does not lose signal its just black. Now and then BSOD but
most of the time its just black.

amd 64+ 3200
evga 7600gs
gigabyte k8n-sli mb

any idea's? I have tried some of the older drivers such as the 87.15 and
87.45 but got the same thing or the drivers would be disabled by windows

96.85 is the right driver for that card (in vista)

96.85 (beta)does not cause that blank out problem.
96.85 is better than 88.61(beta)
