I just installed a new graphics card on my computer. Now when I turn it on the monitor says "no

My computer is an HP Pavilion desktop and the graphics card I installed was a 64MB nVidia card. Before it just had Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. I think I uninstalled the graphics driver first before putting in the new card. I assumed that the intel graphics didn't have a card to take out, though I might have been wrong. Why doesn't my monitor work? Should I have not uninstalled the graphics software, or do I now have two graphics cards inside my computer? I double-checked that the VGA cords were connected correctly, and everything was plugged in. Any help would be appreciated.

First, I need a little more info so I can troubleshoot.:



1) EXACTLY what model number computer do you have?



2) If you pull out the new card and re-insert the old one, does it work?



3) What model number is the new graphics card?



4 We are talking about AGP cards here right?

Was the old card part of the system board, or was it a separate card plugged into the system board? You can tell from where the monitor lead was plugged in before you changed it.



If it was a separate card, you should probably remove it to prevent any clashes.



If it was part of the system board, it may still be active and overriding the new card. In that case, try connecting the monitor to the old port again. Then go into the BIOS and see what options there are to enable the new card.



Drivers shouldn't matter that much because Windows will use its own basic (VGA) driver if absolutely necessary. It will look awful (640x480 or 800x600 if you're lucky), but it's enough to let you locate and install the proper drivers.

you did disable the onboard video in the BIOS correct?



the 64Mb Nvidia probably makes it AGP, so i'll assume you installed it in the AGP slot ( or PCI if it was a PCI card, either way you cannot insert a AGP inot a PCI slot and visa versa as physically they will not fit )

You probably need to select which vga card you want in the bios. If the original card is still in it should still give basic vga. And make sure you seated the card correctly.

Check the back of your PC where you put all the wires in. Make sure the wire connecting from your PC to your Monitor is not loose and make sure its in. Some of the monitor to PC wires have the little things that you turn to make them tight. Try it now. It should work.
