I got an 8800gt today - but when plugged in there is no display and no beeps. the fans are working and all necessary cables are plugged in. I have tried prioritising onboard graphics and still the same problem. If the card is taken out and onboard graphics used alone then it will work. It is not the PCI-E slot because my old card still works in it. the old graphics drivers have been removed.
Specs:CPU: Celeron skt775 3.06ghz 346
Mobo: P4m900m2-l
Mem: 2gb Corsair ValueRAM PC2-5300
HDD: 160GB Western Digital
Sound: 2.0 speakers PC-Line
OS: XP Pro
PSU: 370 watt Trust psu (it says on the PSU calculator it's enough)
Any advice? thanks.
edit: just realised it's in the wrong forums... could someone move it?
edit 2: I am trying to install the 8800GT drivers while on integrated graphics... but I get an error saying it is not compatible with my current hardware. I have done it before with my 8400GS (run IG while on drivers)... any way to bypass this?
