No Video I am not getting video from my workstation. I know that it is not the monitor or the connection because I have another system (ASUS Pundit) that works just fine using the same monitor and cable. This workstation worked fine for over a year.

Here is the support you need, Always look at the manufacturers website first.

Bonjour,
les pilotes logiciels se trouvent sur le site d'Asus:http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=8&m=Pundit-R

check in bios the setting is set for Ahcd or ide native if activeted one try the other,or simply set the default settings

go to the asus website and put in the info they ask for . look under support it will take you to the drivers page where you can download

It's possible that a power surge took out your power supply. If that is the case, then it may have caused further damage beyond just that part.

If possible check the computer with a different monitor to isolate that as a possible problem. If there is still no display then you most likely have problem with the on-board graphics. This system does not use a separate video card ( unless you have added one). The graphics are built onto the motherboard.

There are two options to fix this. One would be a new motherboard if they are still available. The other would be to add a graphics card to the system. This unit does not have an AGP slot but should have an open PCI slot. You could purchase a PCI graphics card and try it in there. Once the display is up you will most likely need to turn off the on-board graphics in the BIOS settings. One nice thing about this fix is that you should notice increased graphics performance.

One warning though, since you have no display we can't be sure that this is the only problem with the unit.

A repair shop should be able to do this for you if you don't feel confidant in attempting this.

Good luck!

I had a similar problem when installing a GeForce 5200 256mb PCI card in my Asus Pundit-S running winxp which I overcame when I got the sequencing of installation right.

First, Physically install the card in one of the available PCI slots. Using the onboard graphics to your monitor, boot the system. Windows will detect your new card and prompt you to install. Cancel Windows installation and use the supplied Radeon install disc for driver and program installation. After that, Reboot and enter your system's BIOS. On my system, repeatedly hitting the delete key gets me there.

Now this is where it may differ. In my BIOS, I needed to select the ADVANCED Menu followed by PCI CONFIGURATION. If your BIOS does not have the ADVANCED menu, you may have to upgrade it by downloading from the Asus Global Site. That is a whole other challenge but it is possible...hehe

The two options that need to be changed in the PCI Config Menu are:
Primary VGA BIOS -> PCI VGA Card, and
Onboard VGA -> Disabled.

Save changes and exit BIOS however, on exiting, you will need to unplug the VGA/DVI cable from your onboard port and connect it to your PCI card port. My card will not display the content unless it is plugged in from initial boot so you might have to restart your computer if you are not quick enough to catch that boot cycle.

Selecting these options should avoid any onboard conflict between devices as the Pundit-R has an onboard Radeon 9100 chip. I suspect the two same-make chips is where the conflict problem lies plus you don't need to be running the onboard graphics if you have a dedicated PCI card.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck.

Lists several Pundit models but I did not see yours. I have a feeling that there is other information I would need to narrow down the possibilites

You should be able to go to this web site and download the correct driver that you need. also they have Pundit manual in English.. Without knowing what driver you need, you should find them all here. It will be under the Pundit -S.

Although it may not be your video card thats the problem. when youre computers posts, it beeps once. If it is beeping more then once youll want to check with the board manufacturer to see what the code its giving means.

Well assuming you used the same video cable when you tested the monitor on the Asus PC you?re left with: - Physical problem with the Asus video card. - Asus video card configuration problem. - BIOS configuration problem - Possibly a problem with the DVI/VGA adaptor depending on the answer below. A couple of questions about the Asus before we start: - I?m not sure I understand how the DVI/VGA converter figures into this. Is your cable coming off the monitor DVI thus you need it to plug into the Asus VGA connector? If yes who is the manufacturer of the device and what model do you have? - Has the Asus worked in the past with another monitor or is this new? - What is its history/configuration?
