i was having problems with my computer saying no signal and i have bought a new graphics card and i am still having the same problem someone please help my mother board is http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=K7S41&s=n and my new graphics card is xfx geforce fx 5200 agp 8x please help
did you install it correctly? are all the power cables plugged in (if necessary)? Did you push the VGA card all the way into the AGP slot? Did you connect the vga cable correctly? Also, maybe try a different monitor?
yes all of it has been inserted properly i realli do not know what to do now as i thought it was my graphics card
all i have done is taken my old graphics card out and put my new one in and i am still having the same problem
Have you considered the fact that maybe your monitor or cable is bad? Hook your PC up to a known good monitor/cable and see what it does. Take out the new gfx card first. If it works, then there is a problem with your monitor/cable. Post back the results and we'll go from there. ~Rich
i tried what you sugested and i am still having the same problem the monitor is fine any other ideas?
And again with the computer off wiggle the video card around a bit. After installing my 2nd video card for SLI I flipped out when this happened. I had thoughts of a lengthy RMA and another 2 weeks of waiting. But after reseating the cards and giving them a jiggle the screen came right up.
It could be possible that the AGP bus went bad.....Have you tried an old PCI video card? Your old card may be good, but the AGP port is toast. ~Rich
You have two available PCI slots on that mobo. Borrow/buy a known good PCI video card and pop it in and see what happens. Before you do that though, you know you have onboard video on that thing, right? Hook up the monitor to the onboard vid. If you get a signal, then you can change the BIOS to init the PCI/AGP vid first. ~Rich
what do you mean ( Before you do that though, you know you have onboard video on that thing, right? Hook up the monitor to the onboard vid. If you get a signal, then you can change the BIOS to init the PCI/AGP vid first.) i have tried wit the onboard thing video card and it is still the same what are the chanses it could be my motherboard?
So what you are saying is that your onboard video card, and 2 agp cards dont work? Sounds like you have bigger issues. Is the PC even trying to boot the OS? If not, then the whole mobo is probably toast. Do you get any beeps when you power it on? IF not, then it is not even posting, and you are pretty much sunk. ~Rich
i went to my computer and turned it on and it said no signal and i got told to buy a AGP 8x video card so i have got one and put it in and this has not solved my problem i have tried the onboard one also and it will not start the fans are going fine and the LED'S r fine it just keeps saying no signal
Just because the fans are spinning doesnt mean the PC is not dead. I have had computers fail even though they still 'power up'. It seems that there is a bigger issue here. Does it beep at all when you turn it on???? ~Rich
