no video

[mikemckown]

I pray someone smarter than me can enlighten me in what I have done wrong. I replaced a Asus 266-vm motherboard which has onboard video with a chaintech 7njl6 which does not have onboard video. Everything seems to work fine computer powers on,hard drive cycles,correct led lights illuminate, except my monitor shows no signal so it is impossible to tell what is going on. I have tried a raydeon 9550 AGP card and also a PCI card to no avail. It appears that I need to take out the new motherboard and reinstall the old board, install the AGP card with drivers, then unassemble and reinstall. I hope I am wrong. Has anyone got a better/easier solution? Or if you agree with my solution let me know, I don't want to go through this process unless I have to. Oh yes, my monitor is a micro tech C788 and I am replacing aan AMD processor with an AMD processor.

Ok so lemme get this straight ... you're installing AGP/Video drivers on the harddrive A while its connected to an onboard-video-mobo ... and then swapping the mobo?

Has anyone got a better/easier solution?

Are you certain the video card works? That you have enough power? That the AGP voltage is correct?

thanks for the input, I should have realized if it wouldn't work with two different video cards, it wouldn't work with three or a dozen dufferent cards. The cards worked with my old mother board reinstalled.Chaintech struck again- bad mother board and just to let you know they aren't answering the tech line and the mail box is full. Makes you wonder if they aren't having a lot of problems. I think I will swap the chaintech for an Asus.
