HEy guys.

I just bought the GTX295.

I installed teh drivers correctly, but, it does not boot to windows.

It works in safe mode, but not to windows?

What could be wrong?

Hi. Have you fully unistalled all the ATI applications from your old Video Card? i.e. Catalyst

yes I have.

I un-installed them exactly how ATI reccommends them to be uninstalled...

ATI software uninstall utility, and uninstalled that...

Theres nothing else

It says that it hasnt gone through logo testing.

Is that maybe it?

If you uninstall the ATI drivers, will it boot to normal mode?

I know this may sound dumb and I dont want it to be but do you have all power cords connected properly ,this includes power to GPU and check to make sure you didnt knock anything loose when installing by chance

 

[Computer_Freak]

then it wouldnt have worked though...

There was picture...

It somehow works.

Couldnt be happier

Full settings on CoD4 and it stays at 125FPS (LIMIT UNLESS I CHANGE IT)

I cant be happier

Actually if you dont have both power connectors connected for GTX 295 it wont work properly.(I know this first hand when I fired mine up)

edit* glad you got up and running you will like it alot more than your old card

Glad you got it working in the end! enjoy ...until you think of the next upgrade

When this card starts hitting 30 FPS on high settings (not ultra high), I will start considering another card.

Till then, CoD4 at 150 - 200 frames (Thats also with an OK CPU...)
