The Arctic cooling NV Silencer 1 would do the job. Silencers are known to keep a video card cool.

It seems like he's searching for an AGP card and those are PCI-E cards.

For games like BF2 and HL2, like server_crash said, you would be better off with a 256mb card. But don't just buy any 256...

indeed

It has the ATI M7 graphics controller. It is integrated, therefore not upgradable.

He's got an ATI card... I'm sure you wrote that by mistake ;).

Don't install Nvidia drivers when you have an ATI card.

You might have played with the display settings. Sometimes when we switch the display to a secondary monitor or projector, the primary display will shrink. It might be something like that.

Here is what I would suggest http://www.misco.co.uk/productinformation/~100414~/BFG%20GeForce%206600%20GT%20OC%20128MB%20DDR%20TV-OUT%20Dual%20DVI.htm

133£ for a 6600 GT 128mb, cant get much...

I dont think its a good idea to have a 6600gt with only 300 watts.

The technology of these cards is older, they dont perform as well as the 6600GT. If you want to buy a lower priced card, I wont stop you but you wont get the same result.

The 6600GT AGP will be...

Your system is not that bad. Apart from the video card, only your celeron processor is not the best for gaming. In gaming, from Intel, Pentiums are better but you dont have the worst celeron so it...

I wouldnt bother buying this as it wouldnt mane much difference from your current cards. Like Coconut said, you shouldnt look at cheaper cards than geforce 6600GT or radeon x700 pro. The latest games...

If your current card already has the blue port and bigger white one, you wont need a new card, only the adaptor to convert DVI to VGA.

I would like to know what is the exact model of what you have right now. If it is really a good card for gaming and recent, it should already have 2 monitor ports (one vga which is blue and one DVI...

The video card doesnt have anything to do in doing this task so you would be fine with a low end card if you dont play recent games or make graphics. Something like this would do the job...

So you need an AGP Video card for sure. The card you posted is not very good. What is your budget? What kind of tasks do you do on the computer? (games, programming, video editing, web browsing, word...

Are you sure you dont have an AGP slot or PCI-Express slot? Check the color of the slot where your video card is connected to and if it is not aligned with the other slots.

Both these cards suck. Both are out of date by a huge margin if your plan is to play games. They are about as good as each other but there are two differences. The 9200se is DirectX 8 compatible, the...

You can't use both integrated (motherboard) and dedicated (video card) simultaneously. If you want dual screen, you will need a video card with two video ports. Tell us if you have AGP or PCI...

If you are sure this monitor works, shows blank at startup and you get one beep, the chances are that your video display circuitry is defective. Your video card is probably a dud. If you can, try...

This is not the best!! My Radeon X850XT is twice as good as the 9800XT. It is getting outdated with the release of more recent cards.

He tried two different monitors and it does the same thing so I'm not sure. Unless both monitors have the same problem.

Have you connected another monitor to your pc? If not you should try that because if another monitor works, you will know that the problem is the monitor.

Normally that is because the monitor is not plugged in. Check if it is well connected. If it is well connected, try another monitor. If it does the same thing again, come back here for more info. Be...

In terms of performance? You would be better off buying an AGP since you have one. PCI has slower bus so PCI video cards arent as good. They are hard to find nowadays. They dont make newer models in...

One more thing... when you buy a computer and intend to play games and upgrade, make sure it has at least a mid-tower, good ventilation and ugrade space and possibilities.

I see... Glad you did not buy any recent card because it would take lots of space. This case must not have good ventilation. It is not ideal for gaming that is for sure.

If I ever find a solution...

So my bet is you have the smaller tower right? I thought the size of cards was standard. Never seen a card with lower profile.

Never heard of this problem before. What is your computer model?

Well the metal part you are referring to is the same size for any card and fits in any computer. You are certainly not inserting it correctly.

Put your opened computer case on its side, make sure...

I prefer ATI over NVidia since their Radeon 9000 series was released. In my opinion their cards are more powerful. NVidia's Geforce 5000 series has has it's share of problems but not the Radeon 9000...

Hmm... Im a little lost here. What do you mean by bracket? The side of the card where there is the VGA connector (where you connect your monitor)?

The FX5500 has a core clock of 270mhz and memory clock of 400mhz, the Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro has a core of 400mhz and memory of 446mhz. The FX5500 isnt as good as the 9600 Pro.

How much was the...

Check the 30th post by Catweazle here for uninstall steps.

The Series 6 of Geforce has any Geforce card model with the pattern 6x00 (examples: 6200, 6600, 6800).

For 50£ on misco.co.uk, the...

If you could tell what motherboard model or system you have I could tell you if you have an AGP slot.

For 50pounds you cant get much. I would definitely not encourage someone to buy a cheap card...

If you truely have this monitor, you haven't read its model number correctly. Sony's PVM series has no 4300 model and the latest monitor in this series was made in 1994.

It could be helpful if you would tell us the make, model, size of the monitors.

RGPHNX, if I can undestand what o_unit said, he switched monitors to use one at a time, not both simultaneously.

A radeon 9550 is far form being a good card for gaming. If your goal is gaming, keep yourself away from this card.

maniaco_2004:To enter the BIOS: when your PC is shutdown, power it then before...

Try one at a time in different ports (I suppose you have two if you can plug two together). Do they both flicker? If they both flicker, try replacing your video card with a spare one or borrow one...

to know if it is your monitor or not, plug it into another pc or plug another monitor into your pc.
it is very probable that it is the monitor or its connections

I am glad you could solve you problem! :D
