379416 2005-08-08 10:09:00 Hello everyone. I have a minor mystery here. I have a computer that is about 5 years old, went to try a different graphics card in it but it was incompatible. The problem now is that when I put the original back in it wont work now either. I did not change anything else, all cords are plugged in, nothing is loose, all I did was change the graphics cards and thats it. The PC itself boots up completely just fine judging from the sounds, cd-rom, hard drive, and everything, just nothing will come on the monitor. What can cause this? Any suggestions? LOL I am really stumped on this one, thanks for any help. DrAgOnZeYeZ (8684)
379417 2005-08-08 10:14:00 the drivers will be conflicting i think, but it should still boot to atleast safe mode. reset bios and try again Prescott (11)

379419 2005-08-08 23:36:00 It may not have been plugged in properly - make sure you can't see any of the connecter showing in the slot. It can fry the card. pctek (84)

If it is just not likeing the video card then you'll get beeps fron the PC speaker on power on - beep beep beep (three fast or slow I can't quite remember)

If yu get nothing from power on, like bios prompt or anything then that is a bad sign. If you are very very lucky you may be able to just re-seat it. :badpc:
