Power comes on but no bios screen shows up, no video form motherboard or pci card

The video card that you choose for your system largely depends on your requirements. If you use applications that are very heavy on the graphics, then you should consider a PCI express video card with SLI capabilities. However, if the most graphics intensive thing you plan on doing on your computer is watching a usb 3.0 pci cardDVD movie, then you don't really need one that's very powerful, any standard one should PCI Express card do. In many cases, you might even be able to make do with the card that came with your system.
If you're interested in purchasing a new video card, then it's important that you examine the current capabilities of your motherboard. usb 3.0 pci express card The older motherboards support only one graphics card at a time through an AGP slot. Motherboards today do not support AGP cards. Today, the new standard is PCI express, usb 3.0 pci card which has recently replaced AGP as the favoured graphics

have you tried when in the vga card to go to control panel/display and look at change display settings and connect to a projector?

Try turning off the power to the monitor and the computer, check all the cables and power it all back up again. If the monitor is still black, try plugging it into another computer or into a laptop and see if it works there. If it does work, then the problem is the video card in the computer. If it is built into the mother board, then you can disable it in the bios setup and buy a PCI or AGP video card on eBay to plug into *********** board.

hi,,,

see to it in the BIOS SET up if that card been detect into your motherboard.. the video card must be install through the drivers ..

thanks..

Turn the computer off.
Remove the PCI-E video-card.
Boot the computer.
Press DEL to "enter BIOS setup".
Disable the "onboard video" adapter,
or set the highest video-priority to be the PCI-E slot.
Save settings, but do not "exit" from BIOS setup.
Turn the computer off.
Install the PCI-E video-card.
Disconnect the video-cable from the onboard VGA-port,
and connect the video-cable to the new video-card.
Turn the computer on, and the video-output through the new video-card should be displayed on your monitor.

You mentioned that you disabled the on-board graphics card using the device mamager.
You should disable the on-board video card in the BIOS.
Go to the BIOS config and disable the Video.

1. open your cabinet.
2. remove the battery form the motherboard.
3. wait 15 seconds and then replace the battery again.
4. connect your screen to the pci ex card.

now it should work.

Just a suggestion for you to try.
This is to check whether your PCI-E card is ok or not.
The BIOS setting option should be on PCI Express.
Take out the power cable from the hard disk - we don't want to mess around with window driver or system that might be the culprit.
Now turn on the computer, if ok, you should see some texts on your screen. This is a confirmation that your PCI-E card is still working. So then for you to work on your windows to solve the problem. Good luck.

anniegms, I had the same problem with a new Asus board running a Dual Core Duo Quad processor. The boards BIOS was not updated to handle the Dual Core Duo yet. I had to switch processors to a P4. Use a different PC to make a BIOS update disk. Update the BIOS and switch processors back. But I had all the same symptoms of yours. However I did/do have a PCI-E XFX Fatality (Nvida) based graphics card. I would check or swap processors, it sounds like the board is waking up but not the processor. Just my thoughts.... PCdok

 

Leave the connection to graphics card in, and take the left side panel off the pc and on the motherboard, you will see either a terminal marked CLRCMOS,JBAT1, CLRRTC, RTC, this is the cmos clearing jumper to revert back to default and the need to reset the time and date. If it's JBAT1 3 pin terminal, the cap will need to be taken off pins 1-2 and put across pins 2-3 then back to pins 1-2. If it is one of the others and only a 2 pin terminal, use a jumper cap like the one on the back of your hard disk and cdrom drive and put it over the 2 pins. start up pc and you should get the screen a beep and it will say press f2 for cmos setup, correct the date and time and the bios should be reset to vga, so change to pci again.
