P6n Diamond & GeForce 8800 GTS, No Signal from Video Card

This is my first computer build. It has taken waaay to long and now I'm on my final step - Getting the video card to work.
I am running the following:
MSI P6N Diamond MoBo - Bios are set to the "optimal settings"
EVGA 640-p2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640mb 320-bit GDDR3...
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66ghz 4m shared L2 Caeche LGA 775
OCZ GameXStream ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100-240V
(2 - not RAID) Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 7200 RPM 16mb cache Sata 3gb/s Hard Drives
Philips 20x Dvd/r
In an Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case
Dell E207WFP LCD Monitor
Windows XP Pro
*I've updated windows with all their high priority updates, installed the drivers on the cd from MSI
My problem: When I enable my video card and restart, I can hear the computer starting windows and I see the first load screen but then my monitor says - no signal, turns black and goes into powersaver mode.  The very limited manual from EVGA says: "Quite often this problem is caused by the integrated video card adapter not being disabled prior to installing the new PCI based viedo card"
My question is this: Does the P6N have an intergrated video card that I should be turning off to get my video card to show? I ran a DxDiag and did not see one. Also, I did only saw one video adapter listed in the device manager.

No, it doesn't have one:

  • P6N SLI with Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB won't install Windows

    Hi all,
    After a reply in the topic for updating your bios.
    I was advised to ask the solution for my question here before flashing my Mobo.
    My Specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo 6600
    4 GB DDR-2 (4 slots)
    Geforce 8800 GTS 640 MB PCI-Express
    Sitecom WL-171 wireless lan card.
    500 GB Hitachi SATA Disk
    1 DVD burn/reader
    P6N SLI Mainbord with Beta Bios because it wasn't able to use 4 GB Ram at that time.
    Zalman 460 Watt
    Now the problem
    First it was working but with a Geforce 7600 GT 256 PCI-Express.
    I have upgraded it today to a 8800 GTS.
    After this upgrade my Vista won't boot anymore, same for my Ubuntu.
    What is causing the problem?
    Is my Powersupply not strong enough or should I flash my bios?
    Thanks in advance.
    edit: Windows XP 32 or 64 bit. Vista 32 or 64 bit all gave the same stop error: 0x000007e
    The knowledge base sais it is a driver problem?
    But it isn't even installed.

    Check VGA power cable too.

  • Will this card work? - Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card

    I posted a question about getting the maximum resolution from an Apple 30 inch Cinema Display and another card, which didn't work.
    The replies were fast here in the forum and quite correct.
    My next question is regarding the Nvidia Geforce 6800 ULTRA 256MB VRAM AGP Video Card.
    I have an AGP card with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro card that can't power the 30 inch because it's only 64MB and no DVI output.
    I'm wondering whether this card will give me the maximum resolution?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Japamac-
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    My System Profiler indicates a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, but it doesn't have the Dual Link since this is an older G5 with only 64MB of VRAM.
    The GeForce 6800 is a refurb, but is Mac compatible.
    I'm hoping that it will work, but since it won't be returnable, I don't want to spend the money needlessly.
    I did order another card that the Apple support suggested should be compatible, but turned out that they sent me the PC version.
    I've spoken to Apple as well and get conflicting info.
    It boils down to the fact that this is a G5 with a late 2004 date.
    It is fast enough for me and my only hang up is that I'm only getting 12980X800 resolution.
    I'm not using it for gaming or graphics processing.
    HTH.

  • Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

    trying to determine which would give me the best resolution.  video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga.  would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution.  getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
    also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

    Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

  • Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB OC Edition

    With using the standard MSI driver that comes with the card, the new driver software layout does not show the temperature of the card as it use to with older card versions, they have developed the new user panel.
    First Question - Can you change the user panel back to the classic option that provides the temperature monitoring??
    Second Question - I do not want to have to install Nvidia N-Tune to just monitor temperatures, is there another program to use??
    I have Speed Fan installed but shows the temperature of the card at 55 Degrees Celcius and it never changes, is this correct or what?

    Phazic,
    Stick to the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers, forget the MSI Drivers.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • NO SIGNAL FROM SOUND CARD LINE OUT JA

    I have a Sound Blaster Li've-Value Digital 024 card on my pc, and I have been trying to use the line out (black) jack, but there is no audio signal coming from it. I use the green jack for my external speakers and they work fine,I have plugged them into the black output and still no sound.
    What am I doing wrong, I need som help ?

    Dubmaster,
    The Black Jack is the rear speaker output, it does not play the same signal as the front speaker out. Set the system to 4. on speaker settings in Audio HQ and it will enable the rear speakers. This will turn on the output for the rear jack.

  • Screaming from video card - nvidia 7800 GS

    Bought an Mac AGP Nvidia 7800 GS 256mb card... bios 5.70.02.46.01
    hooked up the molex extension, everything looks good, fire it up? it screams at me angrily.
    did i hook something up wrong?

    Hi-
    This has been flashed to Mac ROM, correct?
    Screams, as in a high pitched squeal/beep?
    This means there isn't power to the Molex.
    Did you split power from the optical drive?
    Double check connections, as sometimes a pin will push out of a Molex connector.
    Also, if the card has tape on the pins (#3 and #11), that should be removed to allow additional 12v.

    I have been having lots of problems with Windows XP just locking up on me.  It has happened 3 times now, and I am tiring of re-building my PC from scratch.  Every time, it works for a while, and then, just locks up one day.
    At this point, I've removed my partition, rebuilt it, reformatted and re-installed windows.  I'm currently running the AMI v1.3 bios.  I've loaded the latest nVidia drivers (9.53 driver package).  I've loaded the latest graphic drivers from EVGA (169.02_XP32).
    I've read lots of posts in various forums about issues with SATA settings on nVidia systems, but I can't seem to find a post that is clear about the best settings.  They mentioned disabling command queuing, using/not using SiL drivers, etc.  Can anyone offer any insight that might help me straighten out my system?  I am close to tossing it out a window.

  • MSI P6N SLI V2 does not boot up from cd/dvd and few other problems

    HI
    I just bought a computer P6N SLI V2 + E6750. It has following problem. It does not boot from cd.
    I have Sata HD. CD/DVD is installed to IDE as a master.
    I have done settings in bios so that First boot is cd/dvd and second is sata HD. Anyhow it still goes to the hd and stars windows.
    I was only able to boot up from cd when I disabled hd from boot sequency. Meaning I left only cd/dvd there.
    Hopefully you pro's can help me.
    Then there is another problem. Windows is telling me that it found new pci device. I do not know what device. I have only Graphig card (geforce 8800 gts) installed into pci-E. Drivers and software are also installed, I assume proberly. How to find out what windows thinks it found.
    Third problem is onboard soundcard. I cannot get any sound out from the machine. I have downloaded driver from realtek, but still no sound.
    Unfortunatelly I do not have original software for motherboard. Only the latest from MSI website.
    Hopefully someone can help me.
    thanks.

    About bootup, i dont know yet.
    To find out what windows found, look in devicemanager.
    To go there go to controlpanel, system then choose devicemanager.
    There you can see what's installed.
    Last, your soundcards needs to be enabled in bios, under integrated peripherals there should be a line with "onboard sound", enable this and sound should work, unless its broken.

  • NVida + 7900GTX + 8800 GTS 512 + 3 LCD's - Single Desktop Fail

    I've been trying to get this to work for months - literally months (on Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and now Archlinux, which is where I'll stay), with no success.  All I want is the ability to use a single desktop across all three LCD's.  This is what the setup is:
    Geforce 7900 GTX
    - 1600x1200 LCD
    - 1600x1200 LCD
    Geforce 8800 GTS 512
    - 1920x1200 LCD
    I can get everything to work flawlessly as 3 seperate screens.  When I turn on xinerama (and turn off randr, or even leave it on), X starts up, shows the root desktop, then bails.  If I have Gnome installed, it tells me it's unable to find a valid depth, but if I just have the virgin X with nothing extra but the basics installed, it just drops to the console with no error message of any kind.  The Xorg.0.log also shows no errors in either case.  Other WM's vary in the messages they generate as well (I now have a VMWare image with snapshots with most major WM's just so I can easily try and switch between various WM's), but all fail the same way.
    Since the screens are on different cards, randr isn't an option.  I have used many combinations of generating the xorg.conf, as well as writing it by hand, and it always ends up the same way.
    I am not new to Linux (nor Unix), but I am new to Arch.  It is, finally, the distro I have been looking for for a LONG time.  I wished I had noticed it a long time ago and saved myself a lot of hassle.  Been a Red Hat/Fedora user since the beginning.
    Anybody got any ideas?  I can provide the logs and conf's if anyone likes, but I doubt they'll help.  I guess what I am hoping is that someone has seen or heard of this before, because failing that, I think I might be SOL.
    One last thing:  I haven't tried this with the NV driver, but I will try that later today just to see if it's only the NVidia driver that's the problem.  I am actually pretty sure it is specific to the NVidia driver, but I haven't verified for _sure_, and I need 3D ability, so the NV driver isn't a long term solution.

    Glad to hear it.  Well, not really - glad to hear I'm not alone in this.  Uh, I think I'll stop before the hole gets deeper...
    I've submitted a report to NVidia, but I don't expect I'll hear from them about it since it's not a common problem.
    I'm checking into faking the Xinerama extension to see if that can work;  Seems plausible, but who knows.
    If only I could find a reliable and easy way to move windows between screens, I'd be able to live with the 3 separate desktops.
    Thanks for the confirmation that I'm not going insane!

  • P6N Diamond BIOS Failure

      Hello,
    I just recently tried to update the BIOS on my P6N Diamond (MS-7320, PCB 1.0) from version 1.0 to 1.3.  I used the AMI flash utility in widows 7 (32 bit).  It completed with no issues and then did a restart. Upon restart it begun POST, but then hung up showing the p6n diamond logo.  After 10 minutes I started a cold boot and the wonderful black screen of death appeared.  My mobo will not POST.  There were no beeps upon powering on - CPU fan ran - all video cards ran and the PSU was running.  I started with basic trouble shooting.  I tested the monitor on another PC and it worked.  I removed both 8800GT video cards and installed in another PC - They worked.  I then removed the dimms  ddr2 800 and switched them to another PC and those worked.  I then removed the e6400 cpu and tested it in another PC and it worked.  I reinstalled the cpu - 1 dimm in slot 1 - 1 8800GT - and removed all power and cables to the SATA drives.  I then hit the CMOS clear button - plugged in the PS and then booted.  Still no POST.  Unplugged the power and I looked for the JBAT1 Jumper on the mobo.  I found it but no jumpers so then I removed the CMOS battery and walked away for about 30 mins.  I then re-inserted the CMOS battery - pluged in the PS and tried to boot again only to get the same black screen.  The only thing 2 things I believe I can try is to switch the dimm from slot 1 to slot 4 and try again - if that fails I will download AMI Bios ver 1.0 to a floppy a disk rename it to AMIBIOS.ROM insert it into the drive and hold CTRL HOME to force the read of Drive A.
    I did install the USB 2 PCI adaptor with the code lights.  The lights showed 1 red 2 green & 3 & 4 red which showed an error with RAM. 
    Questions:
    Does anyone know of anything I may have missed? 
    If I previously had the BIOS set up to skip drive A - will the CTRL HOME keys still work?
    Where do I purchase a BIOS chip for this mobo - Is it possible I could install myself?
    I think the manufacture warranty is still good for parts only.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Set-up

    You should not have updated the BIOS from within Windows.

    If I previously had the BIOS set up to skip drive A - will the CTRL HOME keys still work?
    If the BIOS Boot Block is not corrupted, yes.  The Recovery Routine has nothing to do with any BIOS Settings regarding the system's boot order.

    Is it possible I could install myself?
    Only if you have sufficiant soldering skills (you need to solder out the old chip and then solder the new one back in without damaging the chip and/or the mainboard).

  • No signal from audigy 2zs line out j

    Hey there....due to a virus, I recently had to format my dri've and reinstall XP and all my apps including software for my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. Before the format I had my sound and video card connect to my TV to extend my PC display and audio to my home entertainment system. The external speakers were connected through the line out # jack on the rear of the sound card and I could hear everything playing just fine when my TV was on and the correct video signal line input was selected (video #2 in my case), but now I can't hear anything (video is playing back fine on the TV, just with no sound). I've checked my audio settings and I think they're correct - if there is a mute switch for any of the line out jacks in the creative audigy software or in windows' volume control panel I sure can't find it.
    I'm sure its a settings thing because I didn't touch the cable connections, and I double checked to ensure they are all connected tightly/correctly as they were before the reinstall.
    If anybody has any pointers, man that would be helpful....thanks!

    Yup, my digital speakers are connected through the digital out jack.
    Device manager shows the device working correctly - no issues or exclamation marks.
    Not one ioda of hardware was moved, not one cable unplugged or any other config changed before or after the re-formatting of the hard dri've. Software o/s and applications only.
    The soundblaster card properties in device manager shows no conflicts....everything is working fine, but there is a setting somewhere that is being missed I suspect; I have gone ever every option in all of the soundblaster audigy audio control software installed that came bundled with the card, checked online for latest drivers which I've got installed, and did a clean uninstall/reinstall using creative's 6 step-by-step guide. I also checked all windows xp based audio controls even though I've checked the option that enables the audigy controls to sync with the windows ones as you probably already know.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable line out signal from this card - its there, you plug in your external and go. And with no config changes at all, no hardware changes, no cables unplugged etc. I don't know what else to do. (except email creative support which I did a few minutes ago).
    Thanks Katman.

  • P7N Diamond and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 Video Cards

    Hello all, I have a simple question.  I’ve searched Google and this is one of the few places I’ve found people even discussing the subject of a MSI P7N Diamond motherboard and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 video cards running SLi.
    Here is my system.  MSI P7N Diamond, 6 GB OCZ Reaper Memory, Pentium E8500 processor, Asus Silent Knight cooler, two eVGA 8800 GT Superclocked Edition video cards running SLi, Tagan BZ Series 800 W power supply, four 500 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drives running RAID 0 (2 for the C drive & 2 for the D drive), Sound Blaster PCIe sound (came with MB), LG Blu-ray, DVD, CD burner & HD-DVD Reader, second LG DVD/CD burner, GL W2452T monitor and Windows Ultimate Edition 64-bit.
    My question is, can I replace the two 8800 GT SC video cards with TWO 9800 GX2 video cards?  I know the P7N Diamond can handle Tri-SLi, but can it handle two cards with 2 GPU’s each.  I am also considering changing up my two 1 GB Reaper chips with 2 GB chips so I will have 8 GB of RAM.  This should make up for the 2 GB of memory the 9800 GX2’s are using up (if, in fact the motherboard can handle the cards).
    I was also wondering, if the motherboard CAN handle dual 9800 GX2’s, can my power supply handle it at 800 watts?
    And for my bonus question, would I be better off considering going with two 9800 GTX+ cards rather than the GX2's?  Would I honestly se a huge improvement running two GX2's as opposed to two GTX+ cards?  After all, the 9800 GTX+ cards would be much cheaper!
    Thanks in advance for any help!!!

    Thanks for all the help BossKiller!!!  You’ve been a HUGE help!
    RemusM, I have two answers for you…
    From the sensible side that should be thinking this through, no.  You are absolutely 100% correct, I probably don’t need to run two 9800 GX2 cards.  I can play the games I’m currently playing quite well on two 8800 GT OC cards.  I should save my money.
    And, from the geek side I say heck yes!  This will ensure I can run pretty much everything out there and anything made in the near and not so distant future with all settings maxed out!
    That said, I wish I would listen to RemusM and my sensible side… but alas it’s a losing battle.  Plus, I may be getting the two 9800 GX2’s for $300 ($150 each) .  So it’s not that bad.  If I have to pay full price for them, the geek side may lose out anyhow.

    Oh and by the way RemusM, I LOVE the sig block!!  That’s an old Timex isn’t it?  It’s not the Sinclair 1000 is it?

  • Nvdia Geforce 4 mx 440 Video Card

    I have a MSI Geforce 4 MX 440 AGP 4x Video card and when i install the drivers and reboot i have 2 features (MSI Clock and MSI Information) that show up right by my settings icon in display properties.  When i click on those i get a dont send or send error.  What is doin this

    cjms,
    Since my crystal ball is still in the shop and you really did not give me any information on your system, I am going to resort to guessing.
    I am going to guess, you at one time loaded the MSI drivers and then you switched to the nVidia Drivers.
    Even if you did not load the nVidia Drivers - go download them from the nVidia Website and install them.  Then go in to your windows directory and delete the file msicpl.dll
    For the extra features:
    Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
    Quote
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
    "Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
    "NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
    "NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
    Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
    That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
    Take Care,
    Richard
