Trouble Shooting Tips after Installing a New Video Card
The following troubleshooting tips may help if you
experience problems.
-
Check that the card is seated properly in its expansion
slot. Some AGP cards have design flaws and are
"well-known" to "pop out" during transportation. For PCI
cards, if the problem still exists, try a difference PCI
expansion slot.
-
Ensure the display cable is securely fastened to the
card's display connector.
-
Make
sure that the display and computer are plugged in and
receiving power.
-
If
necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on
your motherboard. For more information, see your
computer's manual.
-
Make
sure you selected the appropriate display device and
graphics card when you installed your enhanced driver.
-
If
you have problems during start-up, start your computer in
Safe Mode. In Windows 98, press the F8 key when "Starting
Windows 98" appears; or, in Windows 98, press and hold the
CTRL key until the Windows 98 Startup Menu appears on the
screen. Then select the number for Safe Mode, and press
Enter.
