I installed a new video card onto my computer...the monitor wont work!!!?

So I got a new GPU (VGA MSI NX8800GT 512M OC RT). I installed it last night and plugged the monitor into it...I know the computer sees it because the LED light turns green, then it goes to sleep. So I figure that maybe the GPU is incompatible with my motherboard, so I put my old one back in and the same thing happens!!! Anyone know what can cause this?!?!

Test with mainboard out of PC case:
Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
• With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
• Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
If no change try with different better and well known working PSU

HT1551 Atv3 doesnt want to finish installing update although ive tried several times, now the remote wont work with it either and when I press the remote the light on the box flashes several times, I unplugged everything but nothing works and I cant reset

my Atv3 is due for an update and ive tried several times to install it but although it downloads it never finishes installing and tells me that it wasnt possible to update and to try another time. I try every other day and it only inches forward in the progress but it never completes the installation. I was tired of waiting and I decided to keep on trying in a period of time one night until it would finally install, that never happened and Im not sure what is going on but the remote stopped working with the atv3 and when I press a button the box light flashes several times but does nothing, ive disconnected it and left it that way for over 24 hrs, ive disconnected everything (tv, internet etc) and nothing. I cant reset the atv3 through the remote either...i dont know what else to do

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

No sound after installing geforce 210 video card in hp pavilion a1430n

I've seen the advice about changing bios sound device setting from auto to enabled, but there is no sound device choice in the bios of this model.
Control panel>sounds shows "no audio device installed"
I installed this new geforce 210 video card (in addition to existing GeForce 6200) in order to support 3 monitors. I previously had a Geforce 5200 FX installed for this purpose, but it died. The new 210 has HDMI output. Some of the responses in this forum credit this as part of the problem.
I only need audio out of the headphones on the computer - not using any external audio like speakers, monitors, etc.
IN device manager, under sound, video and game controllers there is a long list
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture devices
Media control devices
4 entries of NVIDIA High Definition Audio - which all seem identical looking at properties
Video Codecs
All show working properly
Any help or advice greatly appreciated

Hi,
Installing a new video card can disable the on-board sound chip so check the following.
Shut down the PC. Tap away at f10 as soon as you press the power button to access the Bios Menu - the option you want is most likely under the Advanced Tab. Look for an entry titiled 'Onboard Audio'. If it shows as Disabled, navigate to it using the arrow keys, hit enter, use the arrow keys to select 'Enabled' and hit enter again. Press f10, select 'Yes' or 'Ok' and hit enter to save the change.

ITunes error with a new video card

I just installed a new video card. Geforce 9800gt.
Now when I start iTunes, the grid that lists the songs is shades of pink rather than gray. And the playlists appear blurry.
I have the latest drivers.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
That was exactly the issue.
I never thought about looking there. No telling how long I would have overlooked it.

MS-6714 trying to install new video card

Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion. Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714. Thought I could just stick a new video card in. It recogzines the video card, but will not use it. Even when I disable the on board through the device manager. It just uses generic vga drivers. Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

Hi,
Which 6714 are you using???
Check link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/search/ser/SerConProRes.php?keyword=6714&kind=1
Also,
1)have you disabled the ONBOARD graphics in the BIOS???
2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
3)what PSU do you have and model number?
Every single piece of info you give, shortens the answer/solution time...

Desktop frozen on startup after installing new video card. Please help!

Recently we upgraded my computers graphics card to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 and we have also upgraded the power supply to an EX2 525W power supply. When we plug the PCIE into the video card and enable the slot the screen goes to the standard startup screen and says press escape for startup menu but then freezes there. We have tried updating the BIOS and we have made sure that all the connections were secure. If we try having the video card plugged in and run the onboard graphics the computer will beep several times and there will be no screen output.
Power supply: http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=3082

I understand a new video card isn't working as expected.
What is the product number and model of the PC? The following document details how to find this information should you need it.

New Video Card for G5 dual 2.3 PCIex running Matrox MXO box

Greetings. I have an HDV project and purchased an MXO to allow viewing
on external monitor. The MXO did not work with my GeForce 7800 video card
and I spent over an hour with Matrox tech support and they also sent me
a second MXO box. The CPU does not appear to see the MXO and we were unable to see any signal (i.e. color bars during set up)
My question: Has anyone found a way to integrate
MXO into a FCP set-up like mine? I'm running a G5 2.3 late, 6 gig ram,
FCP 6.04 and this video card mentioned above. The second part of question:
If I need to replace video card, has anyone done this with my particular G5 and had good success? I have found on the Matrox site that one user has put an
ATI 1900x into his G5 and they also support a lesser card GeForce 6600. I do not
want to take a step back with any modification and want to make sure my system which funs very smoothly now is not compromised. Thanks for any experience and insight into this.
G5 dual 2.3 GeForce7800 Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Go Back

Thanks for this post/response. The 7800GT card I currently have was a build to order option and I assume was not flashed. I'd love to figure out if there is a
way to get my current card to like the MXO box, or to install a new, equally fast video card that would allow me to use MXO. I may install an x1900 Mac Edition and see how it works but do want to hear from other late edition G5 owners that they have been happy with this card (running OS 10.4.11, Final Cut Pro).

Problem Installing my new graphic card 760GTX Stucks on HP Splash Screen

I'm using a h9-1185 Windows 7 and I thought I'd update my graphic card from a 7870 to GTX 760 but that was easier said than done. When I try to boot my computer with the new card it stays at the hp splash screen. The GPU is correctly installed I have both cables connected to the PSU. The fans are running properly It's just that I get stuck on the loading screen when I use the gtx 760. I can't press any keys to go to the boot menu, etc. After sitting at the screen for 5 minutes it changes to a black sreen showing at the corner the brand of my Graphic Card (760 PNY etc....) but nothing happens.
When I changed it back to the old graphic card Sapphire 7870, it didn't freeze or anything. It worked fine. I was trying to update my BIOS but I think i have the latest update (v7.09).
Maybe my english isn't good at all, sorry about that.

John, welcome to the forum.
Did you install the latest driver for the new video card? This must be done for it to work properly.
Also, when you have the new card and driver installed, I suggest clearing the CMOS:
This motherboard has a jumper to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.
Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
Move the jumper to clear for 5 to 10 secs, then move the jumper back to default.
Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
On the next startup, enter BIOS setup to re-enter user settings.

After installing MSI GTX980 Video Card PC won't shutdown completely (Windows 7 S

Hi all,
I'm posting this here because it started post video card install.
After installing a new MSI GTX980 Gaming video card install into my Windows 7 PC it won't shut down completely, monitor and keyboards all turn off but fans keep spinning and LED light on vid card also remains on.
It's also happening in safe mode, it also won't shut down from login screen, a Restart however works fine.
Didn't have problem with previous card EVGA GTX780.
Motherboard is a Z77 AsRock Extreme 9 with latest bios (1.90).
Have reset Bios to defaults and updated Windows
Using latest Nvidia Drivers 344.16
Unfortunately can't test with other card as I no longer have it.
Given it's happening in SafeMode I'm inclined to think it more hardware related then software.
Not sure what else to try.
Other than the above the new video card has been running flawless.
Thanks

Thanks for reply it appears the problem isn't related to new card thankfully as I tried another vid card and onboard vid and problem persisted.
Sleep doesn't work either, actually both the sleep and hibernate options are greyed out in Windows.
I scanned PC for malware and restored it to last know working point, no idea whats happened but I suppose I won't know outright if its software or hardware without a clean install.

Did you try to unplug your video card and see if the problem remains? Does sleep(S3) mode work fine? What's your specs?

Imovie: I have just downloaded 'mavericks' and have installed all updates. I get an error message:Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements.

I am not 100% sure this is the issue, but I saw a different thread about the ATI Radeon HD 2600 not being OpenCL compatible for another program and that a newer compatible graphics card would be required to solve the problem. I am getting the same message with my 2007 iMac 24".

Trouble adding new video card to p6-2310

I have the Pavilion P6-2310 (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) and I would like to add a new video card to the empty PCI-E slot in the machine. I would also like the keep the onboard video capability, as I'm looking to drive 3 monitors. I have an older GeForce 7300LE that I tried putting in last night and was able to get the card working by turning off Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Mode in the BIOS, but the machine would then not recognize the onboard video.
There were no settings in the BIOS to enable/disable onboard video (BIOS is AMI 8.04), so I'm wondering if there was a trick to keep the onboard video while using a PCI-E graphics card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi:
When you install a discrete video card, the onboard graphics is automatically disabled.
Please see the video specs for the motherboard in your PC at the link below.

New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM

1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
No TV Tuner
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!
This question was solved.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
I do have room for a double width card, but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

New video card and now my computer wont sync the majority of my songs

My computer just got a new video card(not a motherboard i was wrong on my last question) and ever since they shipped it back whenever i plug in my ipod it says that most of my songs were not copied to my ipod because i am not authorized to play them on this computer. 700 of my 800 songs will not transfer to my ipod. i tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing several times and i deleted the sc folder too as suggested.
help please????
i dont know what to do. and i want my songs back.

Are you sure it meets all the requirements.. like at least 2 gb of ram and at least an intel core 2 duo proccesor?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I installed a new video card onto my computer...the monitor wont work!!!?
