Video Card help
« on: June 26, 2007, 03:21:32 PM »
Hello I have a hp pavilion a350e with a mother board ASUS A7N8X-LA and a psu of 400 watts. I recently bought a Leadtek Winfast A400 Geforce 6800 gt AGP and put it my motherboard. I connected the everything and the power to video card also but there seem to be no signal from the moniter to the video card. The fan is working on the video card but nothing comes out. What could be the problem?

    Did you uninstall your old graphics drivers? If you didn't then your computer would think that it is still using the old graphics card instead of the newer one.

      A BIOS setting may be forcing output on the onboard video.
      System specs:
      Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
      ASUS Striker Extreme
      XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
      2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
      Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
      Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)

        disable the onboard in the bios 1st,then  right underneath that  enable the pci  slot for video   that  should do it.....

        Revised *
         Disable the onboard video in BIOS.
        Set primary video to AGP in BIOS.       " I hope I'm not way off here"   :-[

         These steps apply to most newer BIOSes.

        With monitor connected to on-board video:

        1. Enter ROM BIOS setup.

        2. Go to Integrated Peripherals

        3. Change Initiate Display First to AGP instead of PCI or Onboard.

        4. Reboot with monitor connected to AGP card

        enable the pci slot for video

        But it's an AGP video card, not PCI

            honestly, I don't know much on those  AGP's <<  I've only had the PCI-E myself,  I kinda had it screwed up....  then  googled  some more relevant  agp-info  and revised it......

            thanks for waking me up*

              what is the exact message you are getting? Does this mean you can see stuff on the monitor?
