Failure on restart

ukteros · 07-11-2005, 02:51 PM

Hi
New user so please excuse any dubious tech info
I am trying to install a Pine Geforce2 MX200 card on a Asus K8S-MX running a AMD64 3200 with 256Mb (Running XP pro)

When I initially install the card, it powers up fine
When I restart the machine, no signal to the monitor
Take out the card, run graphics off the motherboard, then reinstall the card, all is happy
Restart the machine, no signal to the monitor....

Anyone with any thoughts?

Many thanks

Do you have access to two monitors? That can simplify trying to figure out problems with adding video cards to motherboards with onboard video.

In the BIOS, what value did you select for the "Graphics Adapter Priority" field? If your GeForce 2 is an AGP card then it should be set to either "AGP/int-VGA" or "AGP/PCI" but I'm not sure which. I think that the SiS 760GX chipset in your motherboard can operate both the onboard video and AGP card on separate monitors at the same time but I'm not sure what value to set in the BIOS. You could try both of them and see if it makes a difference.

if your motherboard has onboard video then disable the onboard video, save bios settings, restart the computer and see if that helps. good luck
