Did you hit the CUDA button for 20 seconds or so? If so and it still doesn't work, try removing the L2 cache chip. Then try removing all but one RAM chip. Then try removing the NIC. Then try the hard drive in another computer. Then try prayer. tafkar> Though I can't speak for a PCI video card, I have a 7300 and it did not have any video display using onboard video. I thought the MoBo was shot only to find through process of elimination that I had a bad DIMM. Remove DIMMs one at a time and reboot each time. This could be the reason for blank screen. I will try my PCI video card and see if it works now. I was so happy to find the computer, including onboard vid, was working, I never tested the PCI video card again. I will and post my results. I know this card is working because I tested it in a G4 PCI slot. Also, someone mentioned to me there may be a required software driver for certain cards. I would visit the PCI video card manufacturer's website and check for downloads. Good luck, Tom -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
