Monitor won't display efter installing a video card on an a7v8x-mx motherboard
I have bought an ASUS a7v8x-mx motherboard
(http://www.asus.com/products/mb/sock...x/overview.htm) and installed WinXP without any problems. When I then install Matrox RTX.100 (http://www.matrox.com/video/support/...o/rec/home.cfm) video card (not a graphics card), my monitor won't display anything. When I take the video card out of the computer the monitor works. Is there a BIOS setting I could change? I have installed the newest updates for BIOS but it didn't helped. Can anyone help me please? -salva |

Maybe if the BIOS is set to detect a PCI VGA card before an AGP VGA card, it is actually displaying the desktop on the video capture card ? That is about all I can think of. Looking in the -mx manual, I don't see an option for VGA PCI/AGP detection order, or even an option to disable onboard graphics. If the Matrox board claims it is a "graphics card" in its declaration of board type, maybe that is enough to throw off the BIOS. HTH, Paul |

I also thought that it was VGA PCI/AGP detection settings I should change but there is no option for that, as you say... I will try and disconnect my extra hard disks and see if it is a the card gets enought power... But I don't think it's the reason |

I'm not familiar with that board but basically you'd want to Disable the
onboard graphics and the Shared AGP Memory in the BIOS, then put the video card in. There is no on-board graphic card. I'll try if I can disable the shared AGP ram. Thanks -salva |
