Hi.

I am trying to install a new gigabit network card that I bought for $6 on Amazon.  When I installed it I lost video out to the monitor.  The COMPUTER apparently booted, but there was no video.  I took the network card out and video was restored.  Put the NIC back in, and lost video.  Took NIC out, and got video back.  I made sure both the video card and NIC are properly seated and that they're not touching each other, or anything else.

I suspect a hardware RESOURCE CONFLICT, but I have no idea how to go about resolving it, especially when I can't see the NIC's settings with no video.  What can I do?

The specs:

Dell Inspiron 620
Windows 7 Home Premum 64 bit, 6GB Ram, Intel i3 CPU.
Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT video card
PCIe NIC: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JTCN7K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

Thanks!

I'd buy a better card...i've seen lot's of cheapo ones DOA.Thanks, but I'd like to make the one I already have work SINCE, well, it is here now.  Not to mention that I have no idea what DOA is.You have onboard LAN.  Why do you need a LAN card?
I see your motherboard has one x16 slot & three x1 slots or I would have suggested a PCI card.

Latest BIOS update (A04) might fix conflict, but not sure.DOA = dead on arrival...How would the card being dead cause the video card to stop working?Try card in different slot.I have.Dead card...and yes i have seen them affect other cards...
That or the MBoard slot is bad,
