Motherboard is installed in a Gateway 2851-09e mini-tower. Need to know if this motherboard has a jumper or dip switch that would enable the PCIe slot for a secondary video card. Since I am unable to get a video signal I cannot update the BIOS. The PC powers up, I hear the hard drive engage bit just no video. Tried other monitors to prove the issue is with the on-board video capability.
OucH no acer real model PC told at all wow hard nut to crack that, I sure can not guess that ...
The case told only helps if power on button is wrong
or the PSU is wrong.
I moved this to acer forum. as the mobo matters.
Q1;
never worked before by you,? this acer mobo by you?
or found it used and dead.? used mobo come good bad or a wreck. (history not told , as in when did fail)
the acer.com is the place to look first. for manuals.
not told what GPU are you using onboard vga or GPU card or what?
All fans spin ? CPU and PSU????
if using GPU card that has fan, does it spin too??
if case fans do they spin?
DoeS DVD tray eject (button hit)?
DOES PC beep or flash LED codes?
Q2;What VIDEO port class is this "connection"
is it:
vga, hdmi, dvi or DP ports which one, and where is it?
For now only use (if has one)
use the VGA port on the mobo , no PCI cards in slots., NO HDD, AND NO DVD DRIVE (JUST UNPLUG THEM FOR NOW) ALL USB THINGS UNPLUG, KEYBOARD LEAVE THERE.
MEMORY :
pUT 1 stick of ddr RAM only in bank0 channel "A"
CPU socket pins bent as seen on ebay endless and sad.
below is me guessing what Acer you have.
and find this,
Acer/GATEWAY ZX4951 or
ASPIRE Z3100I read the GW manual check jumpers.
the PSU needs 2 power cables to the mobo.
4pin power and 24pin (or 20 on legacy)
or mobo will be dead.
why mess with ACER. (they have no service manuals)
put an Asus or Gigabyte mobo there and end this ACER pain,
post a photo of the mobo and we can guess what PC it came out of, .......

If your mboard has a builtin video card you should configure that b4 u can use that add on card.
1. connect the add on card.
2. connect the monitor to the built in VGA.
3. start system and press "F2 or Delete" to go to bios setup.
4. on bios setup " refer to the manual on installing addon PCI express card".
you find it here: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us.
or enlosed in the board.
After configuring your system restart and unplug in the wall outlet and then connect the monitor in the add on card.
Hope you find in order.

I'm having the same problem with my ECS K7S5A ver 3.1. The problem is that that I reset my FSB to an unsupported frequency using a 3rd party BIOS.
Unfortunately this is not the solution you're after, yet probably the only option. To fix the problem you're going to have to contact the manufacturer of the motherboard and let them know that you need a new BIOS ROM chip. You'll have to send the board to them and they will replace the chip for you. Depending on if you're still under warranty or not there may be a fee involved.
Sorry to see it happen to someone else, it is quite devastating.

whats the motherbaord you have? also try a older version of the bios. download from the intel website
SOURCE: which intel Mboard DG31PR or DG41RQ is compatible with solaris10
As long as it's either Intel or SPARC (Intel in your case), Solaris will install just fine as long as you meet the minimum requirements.
