507843	2006-12-19 04:13:00	It will be a CMOS setting, it needs to be told to look for the PCI [non on motherboard video]first, and you also need the monitor plugged into the PCI video card [guess you know that, but I have seen it happen]!	PENTIUM (426)
507844	2006-12-19 05:05:00	lol yes I know I have to have the moniter plugged into the PCI card. Ummmm what cmos setting? I cant seem to find any relating to video or graphics...	Fishy (10540)
507845	2006-12-19 05:47:00	:help: Also i'm going to get a good video card as well and try to get this to work in the meantime. Can anyone suggest one (AGP:() for no more than $250? nVidia or ATI i don't care. :help: Ta. But help on getting this PCI one to work in the meantime would be much appreciated!	Fishy (10540)
507846	2006-12-19 08:42:00	The BIOS setting is there - try Onboard VGA GeForce 6800 GS 128MB, AGP	pctek (84)
507847	2006-12-19 23:41:00	Yay it worked! There was a setting that made it default to either AGP or PCI video when a card is plugged in. Changed it to PCI, and voila it works now! Yussssssss thanks pctek	Fishy (10540)
507848	2006-12-20 23:57:00	With new Mobo and in-built video, the BIOS is looking for the occupation of the AGP port to automatically turn off on-board and use the dedicated card. BUT, you have a PCI card, so you will need to turn off on-board manually and stipulate PCI as video (I forget the setting, something about 1st display device) As I said Fish....do you have a manual for the motherboard?

507849	2006-12-21 00:39:00	Yeah - download the motherboard manual from the manufacturers website.	pctek (84)
