1.	Solve : Installed new video card?
Answer» My computer has a built in video card on the motherboard. When i boot the computer the monitor remains black. All pins and plugs look fine. I am having trouble with the newly installed video card. I still can not get a display on my monitor. I have tried the monitor on another computer and it works just fine. I RECENTLY purchased a Radeon 256 video card and have properly instaled the card onto the mother board. When I boot the computer nothing shows up on the monitor. How do I tell the computer to use the new video card while I boot my computer? Did you happen to install the drivers before putting the graphics card in? If not, that's probably why your computer doesn't recognize it.You have to disable your on-board video in Control Panel, first. Turn your computer off, put your new video card in. Turn your computer on. Windows should recognize new hardware. Have your drivers CD ready.
