When replacing an Nvidia card with another Nvidia card...
Sorry I know this will sound utterly daft, but I've got a new(er) NVidia card to replace my current one, seeing as I already have NVidia drivers installed do I need to do anything other than a straight swap?
When I tried that the screen went funny when it got to loading up Windows Xp, and when you go into windows its a dull shade of light blue, then XP finds and installs whatever for the graphics cards, then the computer crashes. Do I need to use DriverCleaner to uninstall my old drivers, then turn off the computer to swap cards and then reinstall them? The newer card might be faulty you see, but I'm not sure! The old card is a GeForce 2 MX400 64MB and the new one is a GeForce 5200 128MB one, both AGP. Cheers and sorry for my appalling lack of knowledge!  |

At this point I think you should use drivercleaner and use it in safemode after you unistall the video driver. Then reboot and install the a new video driver. You shouldn't need to remove the new card because in safe mode no Video drivers are used.
