Hi all A bit ne to building my own pc, but I have given it a good go. I am using a Abit AVA with an Athlon 3000+ 62 and an Abit AGP - when I plug the Monitor (from my HP Pavilion) in to the graphics card - I get no bios and no signal. Is there a port on the motherboard I can use for the monitor? Aqua
does motherboard have video connector on backside of case? check that the cmos jumper is in normal & not clear mode according to manual. does the cpu fan spin? remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram. remove all data cables from motherboard & reseat the powercable to motherboard
how long you had the card?????if your motherboard has integrated video and it works off that , u may have a bad or faulty video card....post back..
Unfortunately the motherboard does not have on board graphics. Any other ideas on how I can test the board? Aqua
Did you follow the instructions ddp gave you? when you turn power on do you get any results at all? Is your power suplly sufficent to power your new board and video card?
