Hey, I got a new graphics card because my old one's fan went out, and I just got my new graphics card in today(GIGABYTE GeForce 7300 GS) It's looking good, but I am trying to set it up so that I can also have my TV hooked up to it, I had it working with my old graphics card, but this one just appears black and Grey with a X in the middle, here's a screenshot.

Also, whenever I turn on my computer, it says something about the RAM or something and counts to 50 before it boots Windows, is there any way to make it not do that?
 
No, I get something, I can drag my mouse over to both of them, but other than that no :(. I have it set exactly how I had it set on my old computer, that I'm aware of.

Have you tried to drag something like your web browser over? If your mouse goes over, anything else should too....

If that doens't work, try downloading a program called UltraMon, and see if that helps.
 
Well, Technically, I CAN use the monitor, but it's all in grayscale, no colors...and it should be all good, but it's not :confused: I was thinking that it might be because my TV isn't a big fancy LCD HDTV, but in the manual, it says that it hooks up to old CRT TVs like mine.

Also, I have UltraMon, and I've went through all kinds of features on there, but nothing seems to work... I might try it on the living room TV later...

ok, how I have it going to the TV is, I have the cable included in my card plugged into the S-Vid port on the computer, than I have a component cable going from the green one to the video input on my TV.

When I go to VID2, than that's all it shows. Although I don't see much of a differance it would make, I'll try plugging it into VID1, if that doesn't work, I might try finding an SVID cable and have that run straight from the card into the TV.

EDIT: WOW!!! I'm an IDIOT! lol, I knew it was something simple that I was missing, I thought it said to plug it into Y(green), but it said to plug it into Pb/AV(blue)... It's amazing what reading the instruction manual can do, lol
