I installed this on a new computer and when i boot, the monitor says no signal. However, the fan is moving on the video card.

Does the computer have onboard Graphics?

No onbard video

Does it also have an AGP slot?

AS23 · 01-09-2006, 02:32 PM

I didnt get any agp slots because I figured i'd just get a PCI Video Card

I just tried it in another system and the card works great

Hmm, I'm not fully up on PCI-E tehcnology, but I do know that most AGP/PCI boards require that you tell the BIOS which slot to use for video.

if the card is the only way to connect the monitor to the computer, how can i access the bios?

Your board has a PCI and PCIe slot on it. The 5200FX card has two 'key slots' making it theoretically possible to put it into the PCIe slot and have it fit. I have a FX5200 and they only come in PCI and AGP and knowing that you know you didn't get an AGP, then maybe you put it into the PCIe slot by accident.

Good luck!

This is ofcourse based on just looking at a picture of your mobo.
