Found a workaround where I can rename the version to 4.5, run the install, then switch back to the original version.

But there's a catch. The Customer folder doesn't actually list the current version number. Tried manually adding "4.5" to the file, but the software still throws an error.

Anyone else found a fix for this?

goldenviper13 said:You’re going to need an installation disc to fix this, assuming it isn't a hardware failure. Might be a silly question, but do you have any USB drives plugged into the PC while it's booting? If so, try pulling them out first.

No USB drives. I've got the installation CD.

Fine. Tried booting into Safe Mode with Command Prompt, but I can't even get to the C: drive.
It just spits out a list of drivers and kicks me right back to the boot options menu.

Booted into Safe Mode and this popped up. How do I wipe these drivers out?

My PC is on its deathbed, but maybe you guys can perform some CPR.
The video was too massive to upload, so I just grabbed screenshots of the important parts.



Doesn't matter which mode I pick, the result is always the same. The Windows logo pops up, a blue screen flashes for a fraction of a second, and then it's right back to the initial image. Just a continuous loop.

Someone's bound to want this stuff from the stockroom eventually.🙂🙂

I'm looking to grab this for $333, but I need them to throw Windows and Office on there too.😁

When I picked up the rig, it was already used. It wouldn't boot right away—just kept throwing errors saying the NVIDIA GeForce wasn't detected. Turns out one of the four pins on the power connector was snapped off. I could get it to work if I fiddled with the connection just right. It worked fine until recently, but then it finally gave up on me when I was in a rush. After about 20 failed attempts, I lost my cool and used way too much force.🙂

Couldn't find anything decent at a good price on Craigslist. :/

Anyone got a recommendation for a decent repair shop in Los Angeles where I can get this soldered without getting ripped off?

The connector on my NVIDIA RTX 4090 just snapped. Can I solder this back together? If it's a lost cause, what's a decent replacement? View on imgur

I'm finally ditching Windows XP and want to move over to Windows 7. Does anyone know where I can actually find a legitimate download online? (32-bit)

Swapped out the connector and it’s working now. Thanks for the tip.

This is the card I’ve got.

Here's a shot of it.

From what I can tell, this is the connector.

Looks like one of the wires is pulling loose from the Molex Female Floppy connector. Found the same type of connector sitting loose on the power supply, but I have no clue if I'll screw things up if I try to swap it out.

Back again with the same old headache. Every time I boot this rig, I get hit with: "Video card is not connected to power supply." It used to be a quick fix—just give the cables on the GPU a little shove and it would go. Now? Not so much. It’s taking seven or eight tries just to get the damn thing to post. Does anyone know where I can grab a decent power cable? Also, I tried hunting down new drivers after the old ones crapped out, but even the updates are hit or miss. Any advice?
