Here is the situation: I recently uncovered a [relatively] old Dell Optiplex GX280. It used to have an AGP 7300GT that I used a while ago (confirmed to be working), so I found that and put it in the computer. Things worked just fine, until I was updating drivers. It would not update because apparently my card was operating in "reduced performance mode," on account of my not plugging in the extra power adapter. So, I turned everything off and put the cable in, and turned it back on, only to find that my card was not being recognized at all. Under Device Manager (Windows XP, btw), the 7300GT was listed as "This device cannot start (Code 10)." Even when I unplug the extra power and turn it back on, it is still not recognized. Any ideas or suggestions?
Yes, I have done this; I uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled them, rebooted, only to encounter the same exact issue.
Hi, go into device manager, uninstall the graphics card from device manager, restart and then windows will detect it as new hardware found, then install the graphics card drivers. If that doesn't work I think you will have to flash the graphics card bios, because it isn't detecting your card properly.
