Graphics card issue (No signal on monitor)

[hogan1]

Hi All,

I have an ASUS P8P6-Mpro motherboard and an ASUS GT 440 DirectCU Silent graphics card. There is no onboard video on the motherboard and the graphics card doesn't seem to be sending a signal to the connected monitor.

I've tried removing all other hardware and leaving the video card connected but still no change. I tried resetting the bios and I even tied a different graphics card.

This leaves me to believe that the issue is with the motherboard. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks.

Do you have another machine to test the graphics card with? Have you made sure it has the correct power connectors? Has the mobo ever worked with any graphics card?

I have another machine which I will test it on in a couple of minutes and will report back. I have noticed the graphics card has an FCON2 2 pin connection. I have no idea what this is for. There are no other power connections for the graphics card. Both the motherboard and graphics card are brand new and this is the first time they have been used.

OK I can confirm the graphics card works in another machine so it must be a motherboard issue. Hmmmmmm

Have you tested it in other pci slots? (I'm assuming it has more than 1 mind)

Plug your monitor into onboard VGA

Edit: Actually... Does that board have onboard VGA? hmm...

It would appear not:

There is no onboard video on the motherboard.

Yeah I have tried it in another PCIe slot. The board has 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 slots and neither seems to work. No onboard VGA.
