Here's my build OKIA 420W PSU AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Gigabyte 3D rocket II heatsink/fan Asus A8N32-SLI deluxe 1GB Corsair PC3200 GeForce 6200 LE vid card (I went cheap) My 20 pin connector is attached, as well as the ATX 4 pin and the "e-z plug" 12V... connector. I have reseated and tried the other PCI slot...no luck...still will not turn on the monitor. Here is my problem .....I can't install the mobo drivers (or video drivers) because I cannot see, without the video drivers the card will not work.... How can I get around this? I have no other system (that can handle a PCI Express card) to test the card.... and I do NOT have onboard video. Any suggestions? I do have an idea, but not sure it will work. Can I take my hdd and install in another system... install the vid drivers and then swap back? |

If you don't see a video image when the PC boots then it's nothing to do with drivers. The PC will start and display something without a hard disk fitted, let alone an operating system. Does the machine beep a code when it starts? Does your monitor have more than one video input? (If so, is the correct one selected?) |
