NO video

[Syn3sthesia]

i have just ditched my intel and got an amd. though when i turn on the pc, there is no video. maybe its because i have an ati card in an sli mobo.

do u have a onboard on ur system? if so then boot from it and in the BIOS set the video priority to ur video card.
can u post ur specs?

try clearing ur BIOS through jumpers or by removing the battery if nothing works

ATi cards should have no problem working in an SLi motherboard. Make sure that you have put the vid card in the right PCI-e slot.

check if the Ram is seated correctly as well as everything else, are u using a 20 or 24 pin connector from the PSU? and check if the 4 pin power connector is plugged in ur motherboard as well

You were right. Today, I changed the RAMs slot and the video came on. But, now it will only display the bios post message. I have fixed that before but I forgot how to.

now go into the BIOS and set the boot priority to CD-Rom as number one and ur HD as 2 > put ur xp cd in the drive>save and exit
now when it restarts, press any button to load from the cd.
Now install windows...
