Install Windows Xp On Hp Dc 7900 Sff

Posted on

I recently replaced a DC7100 CMT (running Windows XP) with a DC7900 CMT (running Windows 7 64). I had installed a Soundblaster Audio card and a Gigabyte 8600 GT (Silent Pipe) in the 7100, they worked fine. I installed the Soundblaster card in the 7900 no problems. However installing the 8600 card results in no boot/black screen and after around 15 seconds the fans kick in hard until it is switched off.

Have tried using both PCI slots, no difference. I have some basic knowlege but not much more.

The card is fairly low wattage (around 40 watts) and worked fine with the lower wattage PSU in the 7100. Any ideas Thanks. Welcome to the forum.

I have reviewed the specs of the workstation and the video card. The only possible discrepency that I can find is, the specs for the card state that the card was developed for Win XP and Vista.

According to (I have misplaced a much better Nvidia GPU reference, if you know it please post a link) the GTX 460 768MB uses about 3 times the power of a GTX 750 but should almost equal its performance. Bandwidth and fill rates are about the same but shader performance is a little slower. Isn't technology great, three times less power and the same performance of a card from only 4 years ago. Remember the GTX 750 is by no means a high-end card but it's about what I want in terms of power. Of course if you really need some GPU performance but still want efficiency then take a look at a GTX 980, that thing is awesome. Only draws 165 Watts while doing 4612 GFLOPS. But too expensive for me.

Amazing indeed. Looking at NV drivers there seems to be a 4 year driver gap: between GeForce 306.23 Driver WHQL 306.23 September 13, 2012 ForceWare Release 169 BETA 169.28 January 10, 2008 I was unable to find drivers from 2009 to 2011. EDIT: Ok I can find them by looking up version numbers on Guru 3D and then doing a Google search I'm uploading them all onto my website, listen from old to new with release notes and supported cards listed on the right.

Should make it very easy to find a suitable driver from a specific period. Played around with nLite today and slipstreamed the AHCI drivers for the Asrock Intel and Asus AMD motherboard and re-installed XP on both of them. Captured it all for the video I'm working on The machines feel a bit snappier, but could be imagination Found another game with an awesome benchmark. This one is from 2007, quite demanding and received a DX10 patch, so ideally to be played on Windows 7: Company of Heroes. Often featured in hardware reviews.

Wamp Server For Php 5.3.8. Remember the GTX 750 is by no means a high-end card but it's about what I want in terms of power. I don't care how much power a video card uses when it's running heavy 3D - if it's going to a purpose then I'm cool with it.

I just don't want it guzzling watts when I'm looking at a 2D Windows desktop. This is what I find deficient with my GTX260. 99% of the time it's just wasting electricity to do something an S3 Trio could do. Oldbie Posts: 1364 Joined: 2013-1-24 @ 13:45.

There are sooooo many cards using this chip it gets quite confusing. Seems the fastest cards are the 9800GTX+ and 1 GB version of the GTS250. They are still not really available for peanuts so I don't think I will get any soon, but I will keep my eye out for them. Now there must be a game or two that have issues with these newer cards, just got to find them Or maybe not? If I remember right the 9800GTX+ will have a few advantages over the 250 and other GT/GTS cards, because it was positioned as the top offering for a short while; it supports triple SLI, hybrid power, etc which the other boards do not (GTS 250 may, but I know 8800GTS 512MB, 9800GT, etc do not). As far as games having issues - I've not encountered any problems with games that will run in Win7 and my GTX 660 (which is a lot newer than G92), aside from nVidia breaking shadows in TS2 (), which is fully driver-related (and afaik affects ALL nVidia cards that can use >327).
