Windows 7 and AGP = Need for ATI HD 3850

This film shows me installing a new AGP graphics card, namely the ATI Sapphire HD 3850 into my aged PC system. The only reason I am doing this is because Windows 7 is non too happy with my ATI 9200Se graphics card already in there.

Mainly the problem is that Safari Browser and other programs bring on the BSOD and of course the programs which do that are the very ones I need for my work.

So, will this fix my problem? why do I have a new PSU as well? all this and little else answered in the video!

how did you know that your video card was causing problems with safari?

[melmation]

@igamer247 it went to BSOD when I launched Safari. After the upgrade to the new Graphics card, it didn't

is your mobo by any chance the gigabyte 8ig1000mk? just a guess as i have one and this looks similar

@igamer247 I genuinely don't remember

Did windows 7 get the hd 3850 Drivers itself?

[melmation]

@EkczHD It seems like it did. I have had to do nothing since installing the card by way of drivers. Well, once W7 got net connection, it seemed to take care of it all by itself

@CZroe In comparison man, in comparison. I've seen video cards so big they'd make you have nightmares! :-D

Wow! You think that's a "massive" video card? You have no idea! ;)
