Motherboard wont see video card

#16715961 - 08/17/12 06:53 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

Can I get some ideas why this is not working? Its not really a supprise to me since I'm using a cheap old AM2 mirco atx motherboard, I don't even know the model but it looks to me like it has a PCI 16x slot. So I put in a 9800gt and a brand new 500Watt PSU, It still boots and the video card fans spins up, its all pluged in but I don't see the video card under devise manager, I didn't see an option to disable the onboard VGA in the BOIS so thats what I'm using, DVI on video card doesn't do anything.

I might just swap computers tho and put the PSU and video card in a similar dell one... I really hope even that would work.

Are you sure that the gpu works? My 9800gt died on me and I had to reflow it to get it working again. The symptom mine showed was the fan staying at full speed when the computer is turned on and the screen staying black of course. Under normal working conditions the fan goes to full speed for a few seconds as the computer is booting and then spins down to a quieter level.

Hey, I actually tried it in my computer today and it booted up fine. The fan spun up normally in bros computer also.
Kinda sucks because this computer is pretty much useless without a video card. Moms computer on the other hand has much better on board video and motherboard is locked at its slower speeds for ram and stuff. me and my 2 brothers are always on the computers/playing games or something.
