Install video card problem
I'm having a problem installing a video card. I have a PC Chips MoBo M925LR
and an MX 440 8x Geoforce. The board mfg. told me to set graphics adapter to PCI, which I did. There are no jumpers to turn off the on-board video or other ways of disconnecting it. I did install the correct driver that came with the card. When I turn on the computer, with the card inserted, (connected to monitor or not) the screen remains black and the boot process seems to stop. Please advise. |

Is this an AGP or PCI card? I think that the MX series were available both
ways, the "8x" part of your description makes it sound like it is an AGP card. Try resetting your BIOS to AGP and see what happens. Bob "JI" wrote in message ...

I assume you have an AGP Video card from the 8x description. So setting the
motherboard to PCI makes no sense to me. In you bios you should be able to turn off the onboard video and then you should then set it to AGP. "JI" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I've already done that without success.

Thanks. My BIOS does not give me the option to turn off onboard video(at
least it doesn't say "on board video" or any other on/off option). The PCI idea came from the MoBo mfg.? "OZMAN" wrote in message ... I assume you have an AGP Video card from the 8x description.

The PCI idea came from the MoBo mfg.? Ok.... so you can not turn of your Onboard VGA. I still do not have a sense if it a AGP or PCI type. Assume it a AGP card, try setting your intialization or startup as PCI. While your PC is booting up and seem to stop. Can you check by attach to onboard VGA or the MX440-8x card to see if there any display? If both monitor seem to be blank, then check if there a cursor blinking from a upper left corner or so? Also have you check if there a jumper on the MoBo to disable the onboard VGA? Also check if there any BIOS update to allow automatic disable feature from the new update BIOS. CapFusion,.... |

Thanks.
1. I've set initialization or startup as PCI and it not make a difference. 2. There is no display, blinker or otherwise. 3. There is no jumper available. 4. How would I update BIOS if necessary?

How would I update BIOS if necessary? Check the MoBo for any BIOS update. If there no update BIOS, you are SOL and option. Also, can you check this MX440-8x on anothe PC and see if problem follow? Try find a MoBo without any built-in VGA. If still no display from another PC / MoBo, you may have a bad MX440-8x card. CapFusion,... |

CapFusion,... Hi, I have a similar probeme with my M925LR board. I tried 2 videos cards "Asus N6200 AGP 8x 256meg" and "ATI 9600 AGP 8x 256meg". I know that the boards works because the are fonctionnal on my other PC that has a Asus moBo! I know tha my M925LR board works with any AGP 4x video card because I tried 3 differents cards and they where automatielly racognized. It tried the same things as you and NOTHING works !!! I have read several time the manuel and have found nothing else! Is it possible that this board does not support any cards with the 8x tecnologie? Thanks and sorry for my bad english, I'm a french guy. Pierre -- Pierre G. |
