I asked this in another section and didnt get a good answer, i suppose this is the correct forum to ask.
I just got an ati 1950xt to replace my fried 7900GT. when i installed the ati card, the fan starts working, but there is no video output at all. the screen doesnt come out of power save mode. the fan on the ati card is working and the card gets rather warm.
im not sure what is going on here. after i turn it on, in order to turn it off i have to push the power button for 5 seconds, so i think something is working. is the pci x16 slot fried? do i need a new mobo? or is it a compatability issue?
i figured my computer would start up and i would need to remove old and install new drivers.
on a related note, can i use an ATI card in an nForce4 (nvidia) motherboard?
