GeForce FX5200 by MSI

redbull2689

I have had it with my computer. I found the last problem out, (about the tv tuner)...same irq was being used by graphics card. So now i have changed from an ati to a geforce mx5200 128MB. I installed it into my agp slot, and I have no video at all. The screen stays blank whenever I boot it up. If I cant fix this problem, I think I'm going to take the stupid machine back. Luncbox PC's suck!

Do you hear any POST beeps? Did you make sure the video card is in all the way?

No Post, nothing. I reseated it twice too.

Not familiar with that AGP card, but interested in the voltage. My nephew put a new generation AGP card in his older machine and it would not arc up at all as is required higher voltage than his old MoBo supplied.

The computer is 2 months and about 8 days old. I dont see why the voltage would change, but I will check now. Anything else you can think of please help.


** I just checked, and my card is agp 8x, the mb supports 4x according to msi's specs on their website. I think that is the problem. Am i correct??

Try clearing CMOS jumper and see if you get a picture. This same thing has happened to me and the results:

1. Cleared CMOS jumper and booted ... it worked.

2. Shorted out the MOBO and screwed the whole machine (Used an ESD wrist strap ever since) . Try switching out the card to make sure that's not the problem.

TeKniques - good technique dood

redbull2689 - I was thinking if it was a much older machine. Definitely try arcing it up with the old AGP card installed and without the TV card.
