 Posted: Tue, 18th Dec 2007 18:32 Post subject: Graphics Card Problem |
|
 |
Bought a Geforce 8800GT 512MB graphics card along with a quad core 2.4ghz a motherboard and a 750w powersupply.
now i have a problem of the 8800GT not sending a signal to the monitor, if i plug in my old radeon x850 it work fine, ive tried upgrading the bios on the mother board but no luck :/.
im thinking its a motherboard compatibility issue (which i hope its not)
has anyone else experience and problems like this?

Did it ever work with the new rig?, or is this something that just happened, I mean did it just die on you.
And could you post your exact specs, Mobo etc please.

You tried both DVI ports, really tried to see wich one is the primary one?
Made SURE that the PCI-e power connector to the card is REALLY fastened?

Well I don't see any compatibility issues in that line up. That mobo is a tad old, the launch date is was back in 2005...could it be that it dont have PCI Express 2.0?...as the 8800 is exactly that. Not 100% sure if that matters...maybe it does

Should be 100% ok acording to these guys...so the prob is not the mobo i guess.

Yea, I think the mobo is not the prob. All the hardware are compatible, no prob.

Oh...well if it was shorting the mobo maybe somet fried there  ...take it back and have the guys in the shop test it if possible. No good going home with parts that are fuked. Maybe you should be glad you did not bought it on some Inet shop, but actually in a proper shop!

yeah took me 6 hours because i was ripping my hair out trying to find out the cause of 1. my motherboard not working (ended up i was shorting it out)
2. the graphics card problem.
only took me 30 mins to put everything together but when i couldnt get it to work properly thats what took the time :/
monitor was a hyundai L72d

Haha, that's crazy. Was it giving you out of range errors?
If so the registry was fucked and setting a res that you couldn't see, which you can adjust in safe mode? If you guys need I can find the key again for it...
