| 417655 | 2006-01-03 07:40:00 | Hello, I think my freeze ups are due to my vidéo card, so I thought i'd test my system without it, my motherboard "ASUS P4S533-VM" has a port to plug a CRT monitor, but nothing happens when i plug my monitor to it... I don't have another video card to make the test... Any ideas how i could check if my video card is the real problem ? Thanks. Francis. |

| 417657 | 2006-01-03 07:56:00 | My monitor is not the problem, I only get an image when going to the video card, and nothing when going directly to my motherboard's CRT output. | Soulgolem (9491) | ||

| 417659 | 2006-01-03 07:59:00 | if your monitor works with the existing video card then the monitor isn't the problem if as you say, the board has onboard video and you are using an addon card you will have to remove the addon card completely for the onboard to work before you remove it though go into the bios and look for an option to disable or enable the onboard video some bios's will have this option, others will not, and the bios will just automatically detect an addon card and disable the onboard video with no intervention needed from the user |

| 417661 | 2006-01-03 08:01:00 | Hmm funny how u cant put 2 cards in, if one is onboard. BUT u can put 2 PCI cards in, or 1 AGP/PCI card. And it'll work. If the video isnt onboard. |

| 417662 | 2006-01-03 08:10:00 | some boards will run onboard and a pci in tandem but i don't think there are any that will allow an agp card and the onboard together for the obvious reason that they will both be wanting to use the agp bus |

Maybe you could run both together, but why try? You want to prove that you can get on-board video first and foremost, then get complicated. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
