| 860981 | 2010-02-23 10:48:00 | hi, i am new to this forum as im sure you can see so if there is any info missing please tell me and ill try to fill it in. i am having trouble getting my graphics card to work, it has worked in the past and has been stored away for about 2 months but have just pulled it out again. when i start the computer with the graphics card pluged in there is a blank screen and i cant do anything, when i pull the card out and start with the motherboard VGA it say "overclocking failed" even though im not trying to overclock it and gives me the options of "F1 to run setup" and "F2 to load default values and continue" but once i go past that all is fine again. restart the computer and i dont get the over clocking failed message its only after i pull out the card. i have flicked the CMOS battery out, updated BIOS, installed fresh copy of XP and im out of ideas it is a AGP 7600GS graphics card P5VDC-MX motherboard any help would be great thanks! |

Set the BIOS to defaults to make sure. If it still complains and you have altered it, I would perhaps flash the BIOS. As for the card, what is the BIOS setting for the onboard VGA? It maybe that it is expecting the built in graphics rather than the card. |

| 860985 | 2010-02-24 00:26:00 | try setting the primary graphics adapter to agp, save settings then put card back in and see what happens. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 860986 | 2010-02-24 00:32:00 | is the CMOS battery old? | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 860987 | 2010-02-24 00:42:00 | it is always set to AGP, an i think i tried it beforem but ill try again the CMOS battery would be old now, been the same one since i got the computer in 2006 i think it was |

| 860988 | 2010-02-24 01:12:00 | I would replace it then just to eliminate it from the equation. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 860989 | 2010-02-24 02:17:00 | After you re-installed XP did you install the chip set drivers for your motherboard. Did you install drivers for the graphics card? | Sweep (90) | ||

Did you install drivers for the graphics card? originally no i didnt install chip set drivers just to see if it changed anything, but still didnt work, i then installed drivers and no change. i can not install the grapics card drivers because it requires it to be pluged in :( |
