Most of the time you'll need to change a setting in the BIOS to force the computer to recognize the PCI slot first. Try going through your BIOS settings until you find it. It should be something like "Display First" or Primary, and it should be set to onboard graphics. Try changing that to PCI and see if that fixes your problem.
Try using the onboard video if you haven't yet, then go into bios & set the video to display pci first, or whatever instead of the onboard. Save,exit power down,install your pcie card & try it again. If it's the onboard that doesn't work,try a pcie card but I doubt it. It's probably just a bad board,send it back.
When the PC starts up, do you get a BIOS display at all? Try fitting a graphics card into the board instead of using the built in port, if that works check the BIOS settings to see if the built in adapter has been disabled,
Yes generally speaking when you drop in a videocard it typically will disable the built on one. You may have to disable it though. I know you said you did not see the onboard video in BIOS but there is almost always a setting in there to turn it off.
If the board is starting properly with RAM installed but you are getting no display then the problem is with the video card or onboard video. If it is onboard video then you should be able to fix this by purchasing a compatible video card and installing in your pci-x slot. Make sure you disable onboard video once you are able to get into your bios. Hope this helps.
sounds like a video card problem in your pc. If you are using the onboard video output on your motherboard, you probably need a new one. If you are using a card that has been added to the board in a slot, try your onboard output (looks the same)
Are you using the onboard video or a display card adaptor?
1. If you are using the onboard video then try installing a known working PCI or AGP display card to test if the problem is onboard video or the actual motherboard.
2. If you are using a display card then try another known working display card (PCI or AGP) to test whether it's your displaycard that is faulty.
3. If it still doen't work then try removing your memory modules on the motherboard and replace them with known working memory.
4. If it still doesn't work then try removing your CPU and reinserting it again (be carefull as you do not want to damage your CPU!).
5. If it is still not working then you may need to replace your motherboard or take your PC into a repair facility.
On board video will likely be disabled if you plug in another video card.
Newer video cards require a connection from the power supply to provide additional power not available on the PCI bus to drive the GPU. It is possible that your 350W power supply does not have enough juice, or the rail is bad.
First guess, check the video card for a power connector. Second, check the power supply. Lastly, if you remove the PCI video card, onboard video will likely work again.
