Bosco Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 You going to have to if you want to find out if its you VC. Other then that you can sit here and guess all day until you try another card. You can try removing the card and putting it back in and see if that does it but I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivescence Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 ok, i just got a crazy idea. maybe a stupid one. but my dell (shoot me later, i paid my dues.) requires you to choose pci/agp for video in the bios. if your bios is something like that. somehow it may think that you are supposed to be using a pci video card as opposed to pci-express. (no idea where it would get this idea) so try resetting the cmos. actually wait till someone with that motherboard comments on my suggestion. cuz it might be pointless.

bgnatewv2 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Did you try re-seating the card yet? Try that it could be that it's not making good contact. Double check the power to the card also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgerLord Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) After another hour of messing with the motherboard/vga and reading about it. It looks like my VGA is the problem, most likely going to have to RMA or is there some way to fix this? Also, what is S/PDIF in/out?

burgerLord Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 my friend told me that i have to install the drivers before they will work, i havent done anything with software yet, is that the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTSchnarfy Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 You install the card first, then install the latest drivers. The default Windows VGA driver is enough to get around until you can download the one you need. But, if the monitor never receives the signal, the driver that you have isn't the issue. If you have no means of testing another card, RMA it and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
