Exclamation Please Help Me With My Graphics Card :(
Ok guys, here's the deal.

I just got my new graphics card, NVIDIA GEFORCE 9400GT 1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0
and it isn't working.

Exact steps I took:

I turned off my computer. Then I booted back up into safe mode and disabled my onboard video. Then, I turned off my computer and put in my 9400GT. Plugged my monitor to the 9400GT and turned my computer back on.

My monitor displays "No Signal"

Since my monitor wouldn't display with the 9400GT, I plugged it back in to the onboard and my monitor got signal.


And that's as far as I've gotten... I don't know what's going on here

Well you have to go in to the BIOS to disable your onboard video and switch it to the PCI-e. Just hit F1, F2 and DEL when you first turn on your computer, one of those keys will work. Dont mess with any other setting in there than something that is close to Onboard Video - On/Off and just turn it off. That should fix it.

I already switched it to PCI-E in the BIOS. I couldn't find the option to disable it in the BIOS
