Hello All:

I cheaped out and bought an ECS GeForce 6100SM-M for an inexpensive build for a friend. This is my second build and much simpler than the first so I'm quite sure I got everything hooked up correctly. Anyway, everything starts up (CPU, Chassis Fans, Hard drives and LED) but system is not recognizing the monitor. I tried another monitir too with the same results.

Does anyone have any ideas that I may have overlooked since I am relatively new to this. I tried switching the CMOS jumpers.

Also, if the onboard video is shot, is it likely that a separate video card would work?

Thanks everyone..............Bob in Rochester, Minnesota

You can try a different vid card. May just work.

Also - try clearing CMOS again. Unplug the power supply from the wall. Take the battery on the motherboard out for a couple of minutes - then put it back and start the computer.
