Grrr just bought a new video card and it will not work !!!
 

I'm trying to set up a pc with dual monitors. I went to tiger direct this morning and got a new pci video card and a 17 inch lcd.. I put the card in, it loads windows then goes blank on me.. I can plug the lcd into the onboard card and it works, but just not with the dual head card .. anyone have this happen to them ?? Thanks

maybe its a driver problem? Try to see if it goes into safe mode when its plugged in the videocard (Not onboard)

Is it PCI or PCI-e? Are you sure you board doesn't use AGP?

yea I need to try that.. I loaded the drivers off the card but still no go :(

Zuza..

when you check your 'Display Properties', are both monitors present, or visible (in the list)?

Disable the onboard video in the bios, it may be acting as a dual display setup.

Or load windows in safe mode and install the drivers.

that's what I'd do first

LOL that should have been the first thing I checked .. looks like I can add another monitor too .. WOOT WOOT .. I may add another 17" to it .. Thanks so much for the help I feel really stupid now for not checking that first and just thinking it should work if I plug it in lol

As has been mentioned, you'll have to disable the on board graphics processor in your BIOS first.

Twas my greatest pleasure.

Anything for da puppy ^_^
