227588 2004-04-06 20:15:00 So do you get any POST beeps when turning the computer on? Elephant (599)
227589 2004-04-06 23:20:00 Hi Hamstar

AGP 2.0 (2x 4x) uses 1.5v signaling.
AGP 3.0 (4x 8x) uses 0.8v signaling.

Thus I believe you have a compatibility issue between your graphic card and your mobo and your only option will be to upgrade your graphic card.

arrghhh!!!

I was afraid of that....

I need a job....

Although I do believe the mobo's default setting is agp 8x, so if I can borrow coldfusions 8x card and I could switch it to 4x do you thing that would change the voltage or is it still agp 3.0?

I get no POST beeps....

227591 2004-04-07 11:31:00 whats the exact model of your card? metla (154)
227592 2004-04-07 11:55:00 exact model?

Eagle GeForce MX440 64MB SDRAM w/TV out (RCA+S-Video)

Don't know the RAMDAC freq's off by heart, but I think its something like 215MHz...

Is that suffice to the exact model of my card?

No, we're thinking

227595 2004-04-07 23:20:00 No POST could indicate any of a number of problems. The CPU, MOBO, Video card, and RAM need to be tested with a system that is known to work. Davesdad (923)
227596 2004-04-07 23:46:00 Interestingly I had the exact same problem with my PC last night. I was mucking about with the refresh rate over-rides in the Nvidia control panel and selected 200 MHz - well, the monitor didn't like it and all I got was a blank screen with the 'check signal' message.

I couldn't reverse the settings, even in safe mode, as the Nvidia control panel didn't load with std VGA graphics :( As far as I am aware the PC started and was operating ok, but of course I couldn't see anything.

I had to do a system restore to get things back to normal.

Maybe the refresh rate is set too high for your monitor?

Just another thought ....
