Hello,
I think my video card just died on me last night while is PS. 7300GT nvidia
was working away, music going and baaam. frozen. Like its never done before. ***. And I have some screen artifacts, blue pixels.
I hold down power,shut off and re-boot to get a white screen with this blue pattern all over. Apple logo flashes and loading circle comes up. Blue screen for a second , then white again with my cursor stuck at the top left corner.........................AND THATS IT.
Tried resetting pram and now i'm stuck. After searching I'm going to get a radeon 4870 sent to me. Should be here tomorrow but my question is,
How do I install the hardware without first removing the drivers and whatnot? I'm running SL but couldn't find any info if the drivers for the 4870 are on there or not.
TIA
Blair
