Hi Cruelyzz,

The 8400 seems to come up a lot with x64,

Check that your card is seated properly.

Have you tried to get drivers from your Motherboard manufacturer?

Have you another card that you can try? or can you try your card in another PC.

Is your Bios up to date?

Pooch

Hi, cruelyzz, and welcome to the forums.

As the previous posters suggested, check to make sure you have the latest and greatest BIOS for your motherboard.
