You should plug the monitor into the dedicated video card and it should display using that. If it doesn't, check that the video card has the power connector plugged in, and try another monitor. You don't need onboard video to setup a new build. __________________ - Matt M - KB1OSC - Folding@Home 85015 [url="http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/"] If TSF has helped you, please consider donating.
