    umm you could disable the hardware but without reading that all the way through I dunno. Why cant you just take it out its simple enough. Also have you tried installing an upto date driver for the graphics card... theres a few fixes for you.

    Make sure you meet the specs for the card. That happened to me....I had to buy a 350watt power supply

    Back to topic, go to control panel>system>Hardware>Device Manger>Display>Driver>uninstall. Never tried it so it may not work, read the manual that came with your new graphic card, it should help alot.

    If you can't install a gfx card correctly how do you even kno that what you bought is actually compatible?

    I suggest going out and paying some computer technician or friends with computer knowledge to help you install it.

    Those symptoms seem strange as usually if there is a gfx card problem it is either all gfx showing or none. What you are saying is happening is just as if your explorer.exe is crashing on windows. This would lead me to believe its prob some screwy driver situation. As people have stated previously i would make sure you uninstall your previous gfx drivers (but beware, if you do not have these backed up after doing this you wont be able to go back to your old setup) and then run the cd that came with your gfx card. It may be your power supply, but i doubt it for most pci cards are not very power hungry.

    As for checking the wattage of your power supply, u can usually find this by looking at the side of the power supply(usually on a sticker) look for a number showing something like 250W or 300W. That will be your max wattage. Most basic cards can run on 250-300, higher end cards are much higher

    This dude's a noob. You uninstall your old gfx drivers in system properties. Than you plug in the CD for the new GFX card. From there it installs it than says to shut down PC and install card. Upon re-boot, everything should work normal.

    Not so hard was it?

    I swear to god if I find out that your downloading ram I will call the police and have your sorry ass thrown in jail. People work hard for low wages to make ram and you just want to steal it by downloading? Shame on you.

    300 WATTS?!?!?!?! LOL WITH A 8800GTS!?! dude u should of really look at the requirements before installing that, 8800GTS needs atleast 400 Watts i believe im using the same card but superclocked and i have a 600W PSU, make sure u up that ASAP. but having low PSU doesnt screw with ur windows texture.

    I am sure it can handle 8800GT what you think? :X i heard 8800GT use less Wattage then 7900 series.
    Frankly, im surprised the 7900 is running ok on 300. The 8800 id say prob will not run "well" if at all on a 300w, best is to check with the manufacturer.
