Hi all,

I upgraded a pc and now the graphics don't work. There are no beeps either. I'm guessing the graphics card is shot, it isn't a big deal as it is an ATI 9550 so quite old school!

Just wondering if there is anything else it could be?

Thanks

Daven
 
this does not indicate a problem with the graphics card mate, i used to have this, reinstalling the graphics drivers worked for me.

also have a look at the power management section in the contol pannel and see what settings are set there...
 
whats rest of your system then? it doesnt beep but are there any LED's on the mobo that light up orange or red? Some mobo's use diagnostic LED's to tell you if theres a problem with a component. I take it youve tried taking it out and re-seating it again? And you've made sure all your power cables are attached? Sounds daft I know but its often the simplest things
 
no power needed for the graphics card. not sure what you mean kenny - I can't even get into windows...

will try reseating it again, but will probably try to hunt down a cheap one.

thanks

you cant get into windows.? you said the monitor does not come out of stanyby.? which means the pc has been sent to standby in windows :confused:

best bet is to just strip the full pc apart and try BASIC troubleshooting, starting with the mobo, cpu, ram and graphics card powered......
