I am trying to fix my nephew's old Athlon PC which currently has a 9800GT in it. The driver's I have found either BSOD or black screen. If I connect the PC to the internet it downloads a driver which then black screens. Has anyone successfully set up this card on Windows 10?
I hope your nephew still have a CD which come out with Graphic Card?
What Windows OS?
What make graphic card make model? if so
Try this here > NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Driver for Wins 7 to 10 and they both 32bits and 64bits!
EDIT> Try install older version to test how it go!
It is one of my old cards, I doubt I have the CD for it. It's made by XFX. I did try a driver from NVidia's website.
The W10 64/32 bit drivers listed by Nvidia are 341.74 - 342.01 (for 2015/16).
Download all of those and use the latest that works, GeForce 9 series.
After 10 years at some points the cooling must have failed, whilst there is some thermal protection that may not be fast enough to stop some damage in a worst case scenario with a 90w TDP Card.
You also have to consider the age of the MOBO components they don't last forever either.
