Problem: Compaq EVO D310 vs Nvidia Graphics Card.
Hi!
I have a big problem with a Compaq EVO D310 and a ASUS V9180 Magic/Geforce 4 MX440 (AGP). There's an integrated graphics interface at the motherboard of the Compaq that probably refuses me to install anything new cards. I have tried to plug in the new graphics card to the compaq but it does not work in *any* way. I have done everything from resetting CMOS to upgrade the bios - as told in the manual. Nothing works. Is there any way to disable the old graphics interface so I can use the new card? Really - nothing works for me. When I start the compaq with the new graphics card I get a signal - 1 long signal and 2 shorts - which means that the graphics adaptor missing or is installed in the wrong way. Suggestions from the manual was to reset CMOS etc. That did'nt work out for me either. I tried to install the card on two different machines and get the same problem. What can I do? Help me! Regards Tomas |

The computer MIGHT be trying to run both video cards. Plug the monitor back into the onboard video (leave the new card in the PC) and check your display properties... You may find that you have two monitors to configure now. Most likely you have to move a jumper in the PC to turn off the built in video, or there may be a setting in the BIOS to choose or disable onboard video. The owners manual, or Compaq, should be able to let you know what to do. |

Did you change the driver for the onboard video prior to installing the new
card? That helps "Shepİ" wrote in message ... On Thu, 30 Oct 2003 09:58:53 GMT, Knowing that it was a Hollywood invention that lemmings jump off cliffs "Tomas" wrote : Hi!

IMNSHO: bull. I have a EVO D410 MT (Motherboard MS-6541 ver.1.0) and an ASUS VD9180TD (AGP) in great working order. No problems whatsoever installing te card. Gr. Jan |
