Solve : New graphics card will not run monitor?

1.	Solve : New graphics card will not run monitor?
Answer» I have a new ESC 915PL-A2 motherboard, new processor, new SATA POWER supply, new SATA hard drive and because the mothervboard came without video, a new BioStar Genforce 6200LE GPU graphics card. The first Graphics card WOULD not work so after the BioStar tech said it might be bad I returned it (costing me $6.50) and received a new one. The new one also refuses to produce an image in the monitor. It comes with a driver CD but of course without Windows on it it will not load the drivers. I can't load Windows because I have no working monitor. The monitor light comes on and the card is inserted and locked in firmly. What is the work around for this situation? SandyYour motherboard, 915PL-A2 (V3.1B), RIGHT? Which PCI Express slot did you install the card in, the top/red one or the blue one? Does that card require a separate power cord be connected to it? Quote from: soybean on September 24, 2007, 07:08:07 PM Does that card require a separate power cord be connected to it? No.Right - no separate cord. I put it in the blue one because the slot was already open. I had tried the first one in the red slot and that didn't work. Could it be a processor problem?What you might wanna try is installing an old regular PCI 32bit video card and see if the thing will boot. It could be the motherboard did you check your manual for any jumpers or anything? Then try reseting the CMOS, might help if all else fails, disconnect CD/DVD drives or WHATEVER and pop out any cards you might have in there. If it don't work as a barebones it is probably the motherboard, but I think I've had a burnt CPU that did this too. Anyways, Hope somebosy here can help. BradDon't bother trying an ISA16/VESA/EISA/ISA8 card though there won't even be a port for it
