The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Graphics card "The device cannot start. (Code 10)."

Asked by duz in Miscellaneous Hardware, Video Cards, Hardware Components

Tags: , , , ,

Hi hardware experts!

I am allergic to hardware :) and have an interesting problem to solve on the PC my wife uses.

It is based on a ASUS A7A266 motherboard with a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 graphics card. It is running Windows XP Professional SP2.

Around about the time she installed the SP2 update (but this may be coincidental) the graphics card stopped working.  When I looked in Device Manager there is a yellow "!" icon and in 'Properties' the General tab shows 'Device Status' as "The device cannot start. (Code 10)."

I installed the latest driver from the NVIDIA website (support do not respond to my emails btw) and the result was still the same.  I installed the latest ASUS BIOS from their website (they do not respond to my emails either!) reinstalled the driver and again the problem was still there.

I though it must be the graphics card so I installed an older Matrox Millennium card from another PC together with it's latest driver and the problem was still there. I put the original NVIDIA back in and reinstalled, the problem was still there.

If I uninstall the driver and reinstall everything goes smoothly. When the process is complete but before I restart (as requested by the install program) Device Manager reports 'Device Status' as "The device is working properly." This changes to "The device cannot start. (Code 10)." after a restart.

Any ideas anyone?
