ASUS P5ND21-SLI MB
ATI Radeon X1900XTX video card (PCI-E)
OK this was working just fine for a little over a year. I don't think I ever turned this computer off actually. But one weekend I went away for the weekend so I turned it off. In hind sight, I'm thinking that was a mistake LOL.
So now I have no video. But the weird thing is that everything seems to be working, as far as I can tell, I SHOULD have video.
Check out these symptoms and things I've tried... I'm completely baffled as to even think of a next course of action.
- The computer boots no problem, I can hear the windows start sound.
- If I put in a PCI video card I get video, so I know most everything else is fine.
- Have installed this card in the only other computer that I could find with a PCI-E slot, but they didn't have the 6 port power cable that this card requires, so I got the error message stating that. HOWEVER - I can't even duplicate this error on my computer. I don't even get the video from that error message.
- When the computer is turned on, if I plug in or unplug the monitor (DVI plug is all this card has) I get a sound from windows letting me know about it, the standard new hardware plugged in or unplugged sound notice.
- I've plugged the monitor (LCD display) into another computer and it works fine.
- So assuming that the video card and monitor were working, I sent the mobo back to ASUS for repair, I just got the replacement today. I think they sent me a brand new one, I can't be 100% sure cause I didn't write down the SN, but it had jumper blocks where my old one didn't.
But I still have no video, exact same symptoms.
This one really has me confused. If anyone can offer any advice I'd be extremely grateful. I may end up having to just get a PCI video card and forget the PCI-E Radeon card.
