Nvidia Quadro FX3800 Video Card Problems...
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:10 pm
Hello,
I just purchased an Nvidia Quadro FX3800 video card for my PC. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers and I am still having problems. Problems I am hoping someone can help me with. My problems are...
1. When I tell Windows to shutdown I get the "Shutting Down" screen and then nothing. Even hours later it is still stuck there. I have press the power button on the case to turn it off. I do not however get a message from Windows 7 when I reboot that something happened. It just boots up as if the shutdown was successful. Another interesting thing is I hear the same pop of my speakers that I heard before putting the card in when it would turn off. I am just wondering if this new shutdown method is because the card is connected to the power supply and Windows is unable to do a full shutdown and so it shuts everything down but the video card and that requires the use of the power button on the case? Any ideas?
2. I have two monitors connected to the video card using DisplayPort cables (Belkin 10ft cables.) When I position for example Microsoft Outlook 2003 on my second monitor maximized and I either turn the monitors off because I am not going to use the computer for awhile or the screen saver kicks in when I get the display back Outlook is now a floating window always in the upper left corner of the second monitor. When I click on the maximize button it jumps to the primary monitor as a floating window. This is driving me up the wall. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robert
