324606 2005-02-13 05:22:00 Can u tell us a bit more info...what else is in the case what OS u have, how much ram.

One thing it might be depending on what brand/model the mobo is, is the voltage of the card. Too high nothing will start as u just found out.

Or something is overheating. Check the processor.

Are there any beeps at all. When u turn the pc on?

324608 2005-02-13 05:27:00 Sounds like its overheating somewhere. Check that the CPU fan is spinning properly. Speedy Gonzales (78)

324614 2005-02-13 05:44:00 Well if there is NO option in the BIOS to disable onboard video, I dont think u can use that AGP card. Speedy Gonzales (78)
