?ÿI've ordered a high performance monitor for an old computer. I'm using the monitor from another system to get the computer ready and I already have a new graphics board.
The problem I'm having is installing the software that drives the graphics board. It runs and then crashes the computer.
My thoughts are there is not enough memory?ÿon the motherboard to load the software and do the installation. So, another expense for a memory upgrade, but, a small one. I do hope that will allow the software to run and install.
What do you think? Will additional memory solve the problem?

I should add that the old computer now has 512 megabytes (MB) of memory. I can't increase the memory for my software that is designed to address that limited space. That is, any memory increase will cause a problem for the software and it will not run.?ÿ
My temporary solution is to increase the memory size to 1 gigabyte to install the graphics card driver. Then I will remove the memory and put back the 512 MB and be fine.
The computer runs with the graphics card installed and the high performance monitor, but, without the driver I think I am not getting the graphics board to optimize.

It possible could solve the problem, but then again, it could be a compatibility issue between mother board and graphics card. Good Luck!
I solved the upgrade of my Dell Optiplex 990 to limiting myself to the biggest OEM card that was made for it.
All that can be found on the website of your computer's manufacture and/or motherboard maker for that matter.
After I installed it, there popped up an upgrade to the existing graphics on the card and it perked up what was already a fix.
I would look at the drivers minimum requirements.?ÿ I cant remember the last time I saw anything that would run on 512mb.
The memory upgrade is coming next week.
