Mother board working like a firewall?

When you already purchased a new PCIE card for it what you need to do is to just plug the video card to the mother and then power it on and computer will automatically disable the onboard video card and then once computer is up run the setup disc for the new video card and install all the software for it and you;re ready to go now.

Try a pci video card first, computer is so old that any upgrade at all is going to cost you a lot of money.

Check your memory sticks and CPU. Reset the motherboard.

Good luck

if the screen comes on for a few seconds and then goes to sleep mode you probably have not installed the drivers for the new video card correctly. you should shut down computer, replace the new card with the old one, put in the disk with the drivers for the new card, install the new drivers and then shutdn and replace the old with the new and reboot. this should solve the problem. please rate me and thanks for choosing enterprise computing solutions..

try to update your video card

Did you try restting the BIOS? Here's the link to that Intel board.

The sound quality built in to most mother boards is not the best quality. It is a compromise. The best solution is to install a high quality sound card in an available slot.

For video quality, it is the same issue when it comes to high quality video.

Before installing the new sound card, uninstall the existing sound drivers and sound software for the built in sound as necessary. You may have to go in to the BIOS set-up and dissable the mother board's built in sound. It is best to consult the instructions for *********** board to know the details for the particular mother board. You should contact the dealer for your computer to have proper details.

Turn off the computer, and disconnect the AC cord. Open the case, and install the new sound card according to the instructions that come with it.

When the computer re-starts, it should tell you that it found new hardware. Go through the installation procedure. There will be drivers and some software and drivers that must be installed.

If you are not used to this type of procedure, it would be best for you to take the computer to a computer service place and have them do the installation for you.

my goodness.. you have spent a lot in your computer i think.. i dont think changing mother board and installing a new vedio card will solve this problem.
as u have said that u have installed a new card make sure that you are giving the connections of your monitor to the gforce card and not to the mother board again.

if connection for monitor is going for gforce properly your RAM is the problem. as per your configuration its single 512mb ram. i would advice you to go and get another DDR RAM(same 512 prefrably) from any of your friend and put it in you mother board in by removing the normal RAM you had.
this will work for sure i think.
if this is not working dont rate me in-approtiate. i just triend my best. sorry and tahnks.. good luck

wat do u mean by dis--->"board starts up cant get any video from any cards"
well r u trying to say is that u cant watch movies or play games?
well is ur computers boot-up? lyk is windows running?
another question ur board might be not compatible to such kind of cards have u check ur mother board manual?
can u name ur motherboard breifly? like full model number?
n as u said u think ur mother board doesnt work , so if ur motherboard is not working is ur motherboard capable enough too install a windows without any errors? if yes then ur motherboard is 100% working its just that the video card that u'ave bought was not compatible enoguh to fit ur motherboard
u answer my these question then i'll tell u which video card too buy + mention ur budget that how mucch expensive card u can afford!
bye!

with a second monitor and win xp, you can run both videos. just plug in card and plug in second monitor and xp will take care of the rest...you will see special messages first boot
