Check if Sis Mirage 3 works with Windows 10.
You're facing installation challenges with the driver on Windows 10, especially since manual installation failed and caused a BSOD. The issue seems related to admin rights or compatibility problems. In Windows 7 it works, which suggests the problem might be specific to newer versions. The SiS 672 graphics card setup adds another layer, and the YouTube method mentioned doesn't seem to fit your situation. Consider checking admin privileges, updating drivers, or consulting community forums for similar experiences.
I faced a comparable problem with an older Core 2 Duo machine that I wanted to repurpose. You might try turning off driver signatures in Windows, though that didn’t resolve the issue for you—though it helped others. If that fails, consider a very inexpensive yet still supported GPU, such as a GeForce 730. There are alternatives with similar specs but lower costs. These chips were built for compact designs, often including a PCI-E slot for smaller cases. It’s frustrating to invest money, but the hardware from 2006–2007 comes from companies with similarly short support periods.
I discussed this problem before with an NVIDIA GT 8800, but it consumes a lot of power. Since it's an older system I mainly use for servers, it doesn't make sense to invest more money. I only needed the graphics drivers for Wake On LAN, so I'm considering shutting it down—WOL still works either way.
