just tried running it with only the mobo ram and video card connected but no hope
What PSU is that? You don't need 500 watts to do a test with the minimum components installed. The purpose is to rule out a faulty or poor quality PSU.Originally Posted by suprafreak6
Is it possible for you to see the voltage readings in the BIOS?

is there an option in your bios to select which video option is priority? mine has the option to either use agp or pci. I never messed with it, but maybe that would make some difference.
i cant even see the bios screen anymore, everything seems to be working in background, but i dont see anything anymore
so now for somereason, my computer is on but i changed the moniter and gfx card it does work, but i want my old gfx card back.. im going to rma it with the company, thanks for all your help. also i had to turn the fan on my psu on max rather then i normally do on medium
So now it's working fine?
Swap back to your original monitor and see if that was the problem.
Is the new vid card in the same slot as the first one?
Seems to me you've narrowed the problem down but still don't know specifically what item is bad.

well ill try to be a little descriptive this time.
so first my new graphics card (5200 pci) wasnt working on my old moniter, so i changed moniters (KDS>COMPAQ) then it worked, i tried my 6600gt pci e x16 with the compaq moniter nothing happened, so would that mean it was the gfx card and moniter or what?
i think the KDS wire was a little loose
What does (KDS>COMPAQ) mean?
Your 5200PCI is newer than your 6600gt PCIE?
