ASUS P5GD1-VM Motherboard

posted by pinglauncher on Jan 18, 2008


I purchased an AXLE GeForce 8500GT PCI Express 512 MB video card for my PC. Motherboard is an ASUS P5GD1-VM. The PSU is 430W

After installing the card in the PCI Express 16 slot the PC does not turn on. With the card removed everything is fine.

I have tried removing other cards and power from hard drives etc with no success.

Are there known issues with this combination.

The problem I have is that the system will not start at all with the new card in. It simply does not power up.

If your mboard has a builtin video card you should configure that b4 u can use that add on card.

1. connect the add on card.
2. connect the monitor to the built in VGA.
3. start system and press "F2 or Delete" to go to bios setup.
4. on bios setup " refer to the manual on installing addon PCI express card".
you find it here: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us.

or enlosed in the board.

After configuring your system restart and unplug in the wall outlet and then connect the monitor in the add on card.


Hope you find in order.
