My pc froze while I was playing MW2 so I manually restarted, after that nothing was coming on the display although pc reboots..tried few times and changed the graphic port to the onboard graphics card and it works. Checking I found that Nvidia control panel was gone, so was the drivers. Device Manager shows that I'm using intel onboard display driver, the Nvidia card is not even displayed.

I have uninstalled and tried to install the drivers hoping Windows will detect the card, but nothing is working.

When I try to install the new Nvidia drivers (version 195.62) from the website I get an error message saying "Nvidia setup could not detect any drivers suitable for your installed hardware. Setup will quit now".

How do I get windows to detect my Nvidia 8600

Here are my specs: NEC Powermate X9360/ Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.83Ghz.12m.1333FSB) / 4GB DDR2 RAM / 320 Sata HD x3

Running Windows Vista Ultimate x64

The graphic card in error is - Nvidia GeForce 8600GT 512MB Turbo cache DVI/S-Video TV out.

ANy help will be really appreciated. Thanks
This is the actual error message I get when i try to install Nvidia drivers

"Nvidia setup could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware"

I want to upgrade my computer so I could run a bit more games (I got about 450 bucks (in my country's currency) to upgrade the computer).

Now I don't understand at ALL in computers, so please say "you need to upgrade your x (as in, memory, video card etc etc...)" not "upgrade to intel g-force x300" please remember my budget (450 bucks, and the prices here are a bit higher then in the US)

THANKS A HEAD!
