    Was your previous card a standalone AGP or built into the motherboard?

If the original configuration was an integrated graphics setup, then the BIOS needs to be changed to AGP or PCI slot.

P5PE-VM with Win7 has no display on PCI video cards-EVGA 2600 or EVGA gt 220. Both cards ran fine with Win XP. What do I need to do?

Hello here is the mainboards homepage:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5PEVM/#download

Are you running 32 or 64 bit system ???

Make sure the video driver supports windows 7, 32 or 64 bit.

The video card can sure run fine on windows xp but not in windows 7 as it is a totaly different system.

The mainboard has a 1 x AGP 8X slot.

So now you maybe has to find a video card that supports windows 7

Try also to download a manual.

Good luck

I have a Dell dimension 4300 running Windows XP SP3. The system has 1 Gb of RAM. I removed the AGP graphics card that came with the system and installed the VisionTek Radeon 256M X1300DMSPCI card into a...

Yes, it is compatible, just that you must first uninstall the previous video driver, then configure the BIOS to route the video signal to the PCI and not the AGP and only then install the new card. And in the end it will behave worse than the previous AGP card you got because the PCI interface is way slower than the AGP.
Just buy a good AGP card, PCI cards are made for office pc's in which the onboard one is totally obsolete.

When I boot up my scaleo p there are verticle bars or lines on the Fujitsu splash screen, windows 7 also won't boot properly or repair. How do I get around this?

Lines on the screen are always caused by a faulty video card, if the video card is build into the motherboard, you may be able to use a pci or pci-e/agp video card to get around that issue, if your inwodws 7 still doesn't start then do a fresh install. I've written instructions here How to install windows 7

Upgrading video card

This will all depend on what the motherboard of your computer will except. There are three ways or types of cards to install. PCI (Oldest) AGP (Old but Good) and PCI-Express x16 (New and Best).

When you go to you local electronics store and look at video cards, the box will indicate which type of card is in the box.

If You open your computers access panel, you will see the ports in which have to upgrade your pc. PCI is usually white. AGP is usually brown and PCI-Express is usually black, blue or yellow. If you have your model number of you PC, you can go to their website and find the specs of the PC to find which ports you have.

Hint: If you take the panel off and have a flashlight, the ports on the inside are labeled. The print is always white in color and very small print, so it may be hard to read.

If all else fails, open the panel on your computer, take a good, close, bright picture and email it to me [email protected] and I will let you know what you got to work with. Or, having the model number of your pc or motherboard will help aslo!

As far as installing the video card, very simple granted you know what type of card to put in.

If needed, you remove the old one and pop the new one in. When windows loads and says it has found new hardware, you can tell windows to look for drivers on the internet. If that doesnt work, the video card will come with a CD. Pop that bad boy and follow the on-screen-instructions when the setup program starts.

Im trying to install agp...how do i disable the on board vga

Hi there.
Remember that if you are swapping from on-board graphics to a card you have to go into the BIOS and tell the machine that the primary graphics adapter is AGP/PCI Express.
Plug the VGA cable into the on-board graphics port, start the computer and enter the BIOS, tell the computer to use the AGP/PCI card as primary, press F10, save the changes and exit the bios.
The computer will try and restart so let it boot to post and turn it off, then put in your card and try to boot again.
Please post back if you need more help or advice.

Good luck and thanks for choosing FixYa!!

Video loss

Have you checked your BIOS settings in regards to Graphic/AGP controls? If it is NOT set on auto (which will read a AGP or PCI graphics card automatically over the on board) it will always look to the onboard card or known PCI Graphics card for the video output. Check those settings and reboot. Remember to save the bios config prior to changing anything.

You haven't brought up a blue screen error so we must assume you installed the drivers properly. The BIOS control of the AGP and graphics is most likely the problem.

Brand new geforce 6100 pm -m2

This is for the EliteGroup P4VMM2 motherboard. Please remove any newly added video card. One done boot the PC. Windows should load & function (Including video display). Yes?
Restart the PC & press the delete key every 2 seconds untill the bios menu loads. Opem the manual to page 33. Change the Primary Graphics Adapter from PCI to AGP. Save & exit the bios. The system will begian to restart. Press & hold the power button untill the PC shuts down. Unplug the power cord from the PC. Install the AGP card & connect any additional power to the video card if required. Double check all data & power connections for good fit before closing case. Re-connect the power cord & start up the PC. You should have display. Allow windows to finish loading & install the AGP software. Than update windows.
Who ever heard a single long beep. This means the video card may not be seated fully & or correctly. Remove the AGP card, blow out the AGP slot with canned air. Take some alcohol dripped onto a cotton swap. Clean the AGP's copper contacts & clean/wipe the copper within the AGP slot as best as possible. Allow time for alcohol to dry. Re-insert the AGP card, firmely & evenly.
Any more troubles? Please list the issue here. Need manual for the EliteGroup P4VMM2? Click on this link: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=272&DetailName=Manual&DetailDesc=P4VMM2%20%20(V3.2A)&CategoryID=1&MenuID=82&LanID=0

GeForce4 MX 420 Video Card

First question: Are you sure you have a PCI card?
there are several points here:
Make sure you have the monitor connected to the correct output on your computer. (In this case to the output of the graphics card, not to your onboard output)
If you have a PCI card set bios to PCI
Setting it to AGP means the computer is looking for a graphics card in you AGP-slot on you motherboard.

I cannot help thinking, that you actually have a AGP card in a AGP slot and that you computer is not working on onboard, but on AGP. But you can check which graphics device is used, in display properties (right-click Desktop, Properties, Settings)
