Assuming no problems with the motherboard, power supply, video card and
monitor.

1) Make sure the video adapter is FULLY seated. If it isn't you will not get
video output.

2) If the system beeps twice during the "post" then it is not recognizing
the video adapter.

3) Remove all other cards and try, if this works, go into the bios and
"reset" the PNP/PCI data area and make sure that you PNP OS = on.

4) Re-insert the cards one at a time and make sure you are getting video.

5) You did not mention what type of card it is, some newer cards, NVIDIA &
Voodoo 3 & 5 require higher voltage levels than what the older motherboards
can provide. Normally there is a special jumper on the motherboard labeled
VOODOO or VOODOO3. If present enable this.

If not, and you have one of these boards you are SOL.

Subject: [expert] Help with video card signal


Howdy all...

Just wondering if anyone has any idea as to why i could not get a video
signal. The card has been tested on a other machine and i could get a video
signal, but when i plug it into the original motherboard there's no video
signal.

I have tried other cards which i know that works into that motherboard and
still no signal.

As well, i have changed the power supply to see of that is the problem and
still the same thing and also i have tried other different slots on the
motherboard.


Help...

Thanks for your time.
