Remove the graphics card and see if the computer boots up now.

If it does you can try and test the card in another computer. If the fault appears again in the other computer then the card is faulty.

Do you get any error messages or beeps from the computer ?
If you do get beeps please note the order of short / long and provide your motherboard make and model please.

Did you install the drivers for the Graphics Card before you plugged the card into the computer? If not, remove the graphics card and reboot using your old video connection, install the driver then install the card and plug your monitor into the newly installed card. If you still have an issue try booting into safe mode.

  • At this point I would remove the power cord, remove the case to expose the inside of the computer and remove the CMOS Battery to clear the computer's memory. The CMOS Battery is a silver battery about the size of a nickel. You'll need a small flat head screw driver to pop it out. Let it sit for an hour or two. If I were you i"d spend less than $5.00 at Walmart, your grocery store or pharmacy and purchase a new CMOS Battery. The normal size is CR2032 but check the one you take out. Sometimes a bad CMOS battery drives a computer nuts. After is sits for an hour or two, I would put everything back together using the old graphics card first. If successful, then try the next one. While you'e inside the case I would remove the memory chips and pop them back in too.

SOURCE: HP m7060n Media Center PC had boot problem: now won't display any

Lets try to repair it using the windows installation disc. First things first, look at the motherboard down on the right lower side. I would like you to find the CMOS jumper, it will be three pins sticking up with a plastic jumper made of plastic fit over two of the pins. I would like you to move the plastic jumper over one pin so it "shorts" the next pin over. Now power the computer up and lets see if it boots to BIOS by tapping F2 during the initial power up and splash screen...if it shows it. If it does get into the bios, go to the save page and click on "set default settings", click F10, save and exit. Power down the computer, unplug it, press in the power button for 10 seconds. This will now drain all power out of the system. Move the plastic jumper back to its original position. Plug the computer back in and power it up, go into the bios....if you are in, reset the time and date. Reboot with the windows installation disc in a drive you know works. Follow the repair fix listed below. Follow it closely, it will repair most boot errors.....

Windows Start-up Errors
Step one, you need a Windows Installation CD. If you only have a recovery disk set like the ones from HP or Compaq they will not do what you need done. Under normal circumstances however, you can use a Dell disk because the Operating system is on a stand-alone disk. All retail versions are also acceptable as well as upgrade disks. For a rule of thumb, if the disk has the Microsoft hologram it should work.
While the computer is first starting up and you see the manufacturers splash screen, tap F12 (some computers it’s F9, others it may be another key, you may have to watch and see if the computer lists the key strokes for getting to the boot menu. If you still cannot find it, boot into the BIOS settings and change your boot order there. Save your settings and exit, the computer will now seek the cd rom as its boot source first.
Place your Windows disk in the computer and start it up. When you see the test at the top of the page “Press Any Key To Boot From CD” Just hit the space bar to activate. The next screen you will see will most likely be a Windows setup screen, when you see this press the “R” key to get to the recovery console. It will get there, it may take a little time, patience. Once it loads you will be given a choice of Windows installations, there should only be one, if there are more, always pick number one. It may ask for an administrators password, if you have not set this particular password, then just leave it blank and press enter. The next prompt you see is:
C:\Windows>
You need to type the following:
cd \
hit enter. Pay close attention to the spacing between the characters. There is a space between the character “d” and the “\”
You are now at the ROOT of the drive, this is where basic commands can be given and changed. You should now see the following:
C:\>
Now type the following:
CHKDSK /R
Hit the enter key.
The chkdsk /r command also includes the P command and will also look for lost recoverable information in bad sectors.
There are occasions depending on how corrupt the system is, that this process could take several hours, so be patient with it.
Now, after chkdsk has run type the following:
FIXBOOT
Hit the enter key.
It may prompt you with a warning, that’s ok, just continue. When fixboot has finished, type: EXIT hit enter and windows will reboot. When the system reboots, tap the F8 key during this time and you will see the multi-boot menu come up. Scroll to the title “Last Know Good Configuration” and hit the enter key. If you were having some simple drive errors this should have fixed them.

SOURCE: Hello i have hp rp5000 pc which have AGP port

Erm, although the slot is labelled AGP1 (HEY HP Accelerated GRAPHICS Port 1 ???), it is not for a graphics card.
It is intended for an enhanced USB card that adds additional USB ports as well as 12volt and 24volt outputs.
The RP5000 was designed to be a POS (point of sale) unit and the additional ports were for devices such as barcode readers, handscanners and card readers to be plugged into.

SOURCE: I have a HP dc7600 SFF. Tried to Install 2 graphics cards no vid

The dc7600 SFF only comes equipped with a 240 watt power supply. I think this may be causing your problems.

I am currently looking for a graphics card for the same comp with the HIS ATI HD 4350 in mind, but the website states that a 300 watt power supply is recommended.

What video card can I use to replace the built in card on a hp a520n?

Here's a url where you can see the specs for your PC.

A compatible card would be AGP 8x but bear in mind, you've already got 64Mhz on board graphics built into *********** board.
Just search ebay using :- agp 8x graphics card, should give you a good idea of what you're after.

I`ve just bought a graphics card and i am struggling to install it in the mother board

hi this sounds like you may have bought the wrong type of graphics card for your motherboard, depending on the age of your motherboard they have changed over from AGP to PCI-e or even ePCI-e now if you have a slot that looks just like a PCI expansion slot at the top on its own away from the other ones, this will indicate a PCI-e or ePCI-e slot, if you have a brown slot at the top of the other ones this will be a AGP slot, just in case you have the right card, for the right slot, there is a locking clip at the end of the AGP slot that you have to pull to one side to put it in check to see if this is the case, then just do that.........hope this helps

Hi, I have an EVGA GeForce 6200 AGP, 256MB DDR2

This is a common problem, you need to clear the CMOS which will also reset the BIOS settings. Here's a few ways you can do that:

New Geforce 6200 on AGP 8x slot has no output

if you can't get a display from the onboard vga the PSU must have killed the mother board. the 6200 gets all of its power from the AGP slot. so if the PSU killed the 6200 it must have gone thru the motherboard. it does not seem likely it took out the 6200 but nothing happened to the board. try taking out the RAM modules. if the computer does not beep then most likely the motherboard is dead.

Freeze with mpegs

Have you installed the latest direct X9 and have you completely uninstalled the last graphics card driver ad re-started your pc, if you had one previously as this can conflict. There must be a major driver problem as video's can be played on the most basic of graphics card. The only other problem may be the NVIDIA chip is not compatible with the motherboard, as i have had this in a number of cases before and had to replace with an ATI chip based card.
