The SyScan Diagnostic program available under the Support page of the EVGA website will give you an in- depth analysis of the current hardware and software installed on your system. To ensure proper functionality, it is recommended to install the latest drivers for the motherboard as well as the present video card, and with the assistance of the SyScan Diagnostic tool, it will locate which drivers or patches are necessary. - Page 10 Quick Fixes (continued) Problem: At boot-up, all you hear is a series of beeps from the computer but see no screen at all. Cause: The beep sounds are a warning sound from the motherboard BIOS that says that it cannot initialize the video card.
- Page 11 Quick Fixes (continued) Problem: My previous card was an ATI™ card and I am experiencing constant lockups, and system crashes. Cause: ATI drivers and services are still resident within your Windows operating system and have been known to cause conflicts with any NVIDIA driver installation. Solution: It is preferred to do a reinstall of the current operating system but if this is not a viable option, you must at least make sure that all of the ATI drivers and utilities have been removed by using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.
