Thanks.
 
The links are to two different motherboards. WHich one did you buy?
The one pictured in your post does not have a pci-express slot. It takes agp graphics cards.
 
well i got the one in the picture blow . The one from geeks.com was the right one hope. It better be . If not ill be PISSED. they gave me the right CPU for it . Its the cpu that shows in the picture here

I got the right CPU that was in that picture.
 
No im sorry to say that it only takes AGP.
If you go to the information about it and look under Expansion slots, you will see
that.

I take it you asked them about being pci-e compatible when you bought it?
 
I knew there was no video , but i had PCI video cards ( G-Froce) and it wouldnt work and display anything. So it only Takes AGP Display cards not PCI ones right i know it takes AGI i think 2 right please help me with this . i dont really use AGP or AGI cards.
 
Oh so you have a pci card not pci express. right well most likely it has onboard graphics. So you will need to disable them to be able to use your card. does it work if you just plug your monitor into the normal port on the motherboard without the graphics card installed?
 
dude this one dont . so i got a PCI slot cards ( VIDEO ) and it wont start up the Monitor To display stuff.

Have you tried a different PCI card if you have it? Also have you tried a difference PCI slot to use. What do you mean by power up normaly? How can your motherboard power up normally without a graphics card? :confused:
 
What i mean is my PCI cards are not firing up Display on my LCD monitor. Screen works and all. But not on the those PCI cards . I dont know if that board will support PCI Display cards or They use AGP AND AGI cards to Display graphics.
 
ALL boards with PCI slot will support PCI graphics cards, what do you mean your display fires up, you mean the no signal display, but that just mean that your monitor is fine. Try changing the PCI slot you are using for the video, it should work, if not something is faulty.
 
Nothing is Displaying thats what i mean i tryed different Slots. I tryed to clear CMOS too. i dont know.
 
have you tried a different PCI video card? It could just be your card. Or if you have tried multiple ones, try all of the slots out. The board should not ONLY support AGP. it should work with PCI as well. If switching PCI cards and slots doesn't work, than try an AGP card.
