trahald10 Member Posts: 162 Joined: 07/07/2004	I finished building the computer yesterday and I installed my Geforce 6800 128mb video card, but there is only a blank screen on the monitor. Then I installed a cheap 4 mb pci video card so I could get into windows to change the drivers. Now every time I try to install the geforce drivers it doesn't detect it in the device manager. This happens even though I take out the old video card and install the new video card to the monitor. There is the same blank screen. I am currently using windows xp. What do I do? ------------------------- -AMD 64 3500 - Stock HSF -Abit AV8 - Samsung 120 GB ATA133 -1 Gb Mushkin XP3200 - Geforce 6800 128 mb -Tagan 480W PSU - Aspire X-Dreamer II Case w/ 5 LED fans

Please post the max. amperage on the +12V rail - the rest of your systems' specs might be helpful, too... ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of Advanced Micro Devices or any of their affiliates. <center><font color=red>MODERATOR</center></font> AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 89W :: Asus M2N32SLI Deluxe :: 2x1024MB Muskin XP2-6400 DDR2-800 :: BeQuiet!
