Biostar 6100-M9 PCI-E slot problem

[ShadoWing]

Okay, so i have everything set up on onboard gpu settings. I install the drivers and everything. So I want to use a dedicated PCI-E card, so I uninstall the driver, put the new one in, and voila. No picture. I can't seem to get it working, is it something wrong with the slot itself? The video card is new.

Helppp

Did you plug the monitor into the new card? How about plugging it into the onboard video and seeing if you can boot into Windows. If so, see if Windows can detect the new card.

yea, plugged it into the new card, didn't work. Then i took it out and plugged the onboard video in and I could boot into windows. However, you're sure that you can just put in the pci-e card and just plug into the onboard video? Wouldn't that conflict somehow?

Some of these new IGP solutions support multi-monitor with a discreet video card.

Did you plug the power plug into the video card? Did you disable onboard video in bios and set boot to PCI-E first? Set the PCI-E at 100 if overclocking.. etc Suggest you review BIOS carefully. All else fail you have a bad video card. I set up this board last week and had it running an AMD64 3200+ at 2700 - real good stuff. However I scrapped that for now that was just tremporary until my shiny new conroe arrived

this bios doesn't even have that option. It's just got "Onboard GPU" as auto or always enabled. When I put it at auto and put in my pci-e vid card, it doesn't work. My 7600gs doesn't need a separate power connector, all from the pci-e slot, so im not sure
