I have a brand new Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L for a small form factor case, that only fits half height / low profile video cards.
Problem I have is the Albatron 8600GT Low Profile card design to fit in this case will not work! I have even tryed a second card exactly the same model but I get the same result.
The Albatron 8600GT Low Profile cards will work, but when I install the Nvidia drivers it will BSOD. This happens when it first trys to boot into windows after the drivers are installed.
I have tryed both Vista and XP, even fresh installs from scratch. Tryed new and old drivers.
I have tested the Motherboard with 3 other types of video cards and its fine.
I have tested the 5 video cards I have in different computers and they are fine.
I need the 8600GT, the other low profile cards I have are old and slow.
Why can I not use to perfectly good pieces of hardware together?
How can I get this combo to work?
