I'm on my final step - Getting the video card to work. I am running the following: MSI P6N Diamond MoBo - Bios are set to the "optimal settings" EVGA 640-p2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640mb 320-bit GDDR3... Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66ghz 4m shared L2 Caeche LGA 775 OCZ GameXStream ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100-240V (2 - not RAID) Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 7200 RPM 16mb cache Sata 3gb/s Hard Drives Philips 20x Dvd/r In an Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case Dell E207WFP LCD Monitor Windows XP Pro - 32bit *I've updated windows with all their high priority updates, installed the drivers on the cd from MSI My problem: When I enable my video card and restart, I can hear the computer starting windows and I see the first load screen but then my monitor says - no signal, turns black and goes into powersaver mode. The manual from EVGA says: "Quite often this problem is caused by the integrated video card adapter not being disabled prior to installing the new PCI based viedo card" - I do not believe my MoBo has an integrated video card but I'm researching. I ran a DxDiag and did not see one. Also, I did only see one video adapter listed in the device manager and that was the 8800 GTS. I've checked that the card is plugged in to my power supply, it's sitting correctly in the first PCI-E 16x slot just like the MoBo instructions asked. I'm fairly certain it's something with the card since Windows runs perfectly fine when I disable the video card. Also, the monitor is plugged into the outputs on the back of the video card. Any ideas? Thanks!!!!!
It could possibly be your monitor. Just send it to me and I will fix it. I will give you back a good one. It is a 17'' CRT. Good stuff I tell ya...
