I went back to the new card, rebooted to the BIOS, set it to the PCI graphics card, and then rebooted in safe mode.

I uninstalled the nVidia card, and rebooted again to "normal" mode.

Now it seems to be okay. I'm at 1600x900, it's working at normal speed, and Windows is trying to find drivers to install. It's a nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

Thanks so much!!!!!

Okay, I need some help with a monitor issue (update: solved!!! :-) ) [View all] krispos42 Jul 2021 OP

Do you have an old monitor or does your monitor support a standard VGA cable. Try using that. TheBlackAdder Jul 2021 #1

It's older, but I think I have it figured out now. :-) krispos42 Jul 2021 #6

I would try to uninstall the video card driver while in safe mode Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2021 #2

See my update, but yeah, it's a nVidia of some sort. Damn thing is taking forever to boot up now. krispos42 Jul 2021 #3

Yeah I was going to suggest you could probably 'get it to work' exactly like that Hugh_Lebowski Jul 2021 #4
