Using onboard graphics for the mean time? Hmm, can you get access to your BIOS?

No i get no display, the orange light is on at the front of the pc which is saying there is hdd activity but theres not.. i can here no noise from the hdd & even tho there is no display ive got my sound on & i cant even here windows starting so it sounds like its stuck some where else in the bootup process i need to get this graphics card out so i can see if the pc works when i plug back into my onbaord

You don't know how to get the 8800GTS out? So your monitor doesn't get any display at all? Meaning it doesn't get power, or turn on?

The monitor is on but its like in standby just like when the pc is turned of... with the orange light no analog signal ... Correct i dont know how to get the 8800 gts out please help

Have you tried checking if you connected the DVI cable tightly?

 

[kurtowns]

yes everythink is in correct...

You f***** ripper !!! fixed it !!! I FORGOT TO PLUG THE 4 PIN POWER PLUG INTO THE MOTHERBOARD FOR THE CPU .. I REMOVE IT WHEN I INSTALLED THE CARD

Does any 1 know how i can check the graphics card temps ?

 

[kurtowns]

ok hmm.. using the nvidia driver . temps 56 C idle bus speeds gpu core 513.000 gpu memory 792.000 hmm

Fan speeds 675rpms idle

1.Is 56 C to hot for idle ?
2.Are the gpu speeds wrong or does it change when it gets into full load cause i know its ment to have 1600mhz memory clock
3.Are the fan speeds correct or again does it change to the gpu workload ?
