Epox EP-8KTA3+ Mobo
Duron 1.2Ghz
512mb SD RAM
60GB harddrive
GeForce 2 MX PCI Graphics Card

right....basically, i started my PC up, after some things got changed around....and after changing the graphics card and restarting, it won't load up anything on the screen. only, it's not the graphics card coz that works on the other PC i have, just fine. it switches on, but stays there. doesn't start up a screen or anything. so waht could it be?

any help would very very much appreciated...

309600 2005-01-01 19:53:00 Does the hard drive and fans run? It really sounds like a loose cable - try refitting the vid card, maybe into another pci slot, and ensure the monitor cable is firmly fitted Greg (193)

Well if you say you've changed the graphics card right? Have you uninstalled the drivers BEFORE installing the new card and it's drivers? Which OS are you using? If the new graphics card is the GF2 MX then what card did it replace? Was it another nVidia chipset based board or not?

If you havn't uninstalled the drivers that could be your problem... also do you get any beeps when you start the PC.... do you get into POST at all?

cheers

If there are any other video cards in the computer, try plugging the monitor into them, going into the bios and changing the primary VGA adapter to PCI.
