I have a GeForce 7600 GT OC video card that a friend gave me, to help with Dual Monitor capability on my computer (which is a Dell XPS 8500). In the event that additional info may help, I include it below:
..........................................................................................................
Dell Inc. / 0YJPT1
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7- 3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 4 Core
RAM 16.00 GB
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
.........................................................................................................
I don't know much, at all, about these things, and hope that someone might be able to help me. My aim is only to get dual monitors running on my pc, which would afford me more of a hands-on approach to my watching software tutorials on one monitor, while applying the principles on another - at the same time. I had thought that it was a simple matter of installing the above mentioned graphics card, and downloading whatever driver(s) would be required. Upon installation, however, my computer would not boot up. Instead, the power light was no longer white, but an amber color. Coupled with that was a continual beeping sound. I HAD noticed that there was a small brass connecting pin, on the opposite side of the ones to be inserted in the slot for the card. But I could see nothing, in the wiring, that could possibly connect there. I tried to attach a picture of the card, but the file size was too large, and I didn't know how to reduce it down.
But, I would appreciate input from anyone who may know to what I am speaking on.
Advanced thanks,
Nathan
