Graphics Card Problems

[steve161064]

hi to everyone new to the site.

thank you in advance for any help. my problem his i can not get my new graphics card to work. i did try a graphics card before this one but it was not compatible so disabled it in windows and got new card but when i put this card in i just get a black screen.

i have a sis 661fx chipset on my computer and trying to install a ati radeon rx 9250.

i have tried resetting cmos back to defaults. which i have done but still does not work.

i think im missing somthing in bios.

i dont know how to re enable graphics card. its an agp.

in bios its set to EGA/VGA.

 

THANKS STEVE...........:confused:

Hi steve

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

 

Have you disabled on-board graphics? Make sure the graphics card is correctly seated.

 

Also have a look here.

In your BIOS, there should be a setting for "Onboard Video" or "Integrated Video". That should be set to Disable.

 

Before doing that, to avoid complications, I would also suggest uninstalling the drivers for all other video cards and chipsets on your machine.

re.graphics card problem

 

i have disabled onboard graphics i think as graphics card worked before but not copatible so disabled it in windows.

thanks for getting back to me....onboard graphics worked fine till i disabled it.

You are still trying to install the new graphics card - Yes Click here

 

As you don't have an old card because its on-board, removing the old card in your case would be to disable it.

Hi When you go into the BIOS go to PnP/PCI Configurations and check that by Primary Graphic's Adapter is set to AGP.

Does it have any options by :

SIS ONCHIP IDE DEVICE

SIS ONCHIP PCI DEVICE

ONBOARD SUPER IO DEVICE

 

Yes enable pci/vga.

 

You dont have to enable ESCD this is for storing information about Plug and Play devices in BIOS

re graphics card

 

hi me again enabled pci/vga.and still does not work still get black sreen...had graphics card tested no problems with graphics card.

is there anything else i can try......thanks steve.:confused:

[maynardvdm]

Hi steve.

 

You are plugging the monitor cable in the new graphics card when you have it in your pc? Is there anything on the screen with the new graphic card in? Can you get into the BIOS with the new card?

[steve161064]

re graphics card problem

 

hi thanks for getting back to me again...yes i plug moniter into new card and i get the loading sreen then as it trys to go into windows i just get black sreen.

i can get into bios with new card in ..........thanks again steve.

[maynardvdm]

Hi steve

 

While the pc boots up can you tap F8 to get into safe mode? This is with the new card in!

[maynardvdm]

Hi steve

 

Or you must do the following :

 

Take out the card

 

Start windows normally with the onboard graphics

 

Right-click "My computer" and select properties, click the hardware tab and click on device manager.

 

Click the + by Display adapters, and right click on the adapter for the onboard graphics and slect disable (Note: Do not uninstall) Apply changes.

 

Now shut down your pc.

 

Put in the new card, connect the monitor cable to it and start your pc.

 

Go to the BIOS and look for anyting that says onboard vga and disable it(should be only one entry) normally under Advanced Features.

 

Get back to us if you get stuck.
