Gigabyte 7800gt

[CKXP]

i just got my 7800gt today, popped it in my system(using the DVI/d-sub adapter) and i'm not getting a display. i've tried both DVI ports(same results) all i get is a brief display of the BIOS menu, and then my monitior goes blank, then continues to boot into windows. i'm using a 17" CRT. i thought maybe the DVI/d-sub adapter was bad, but it worked fine with my 6800GS, which is the card i'm using right now.

any suggestions? maybe a bad card?

Resolved: reinstalling win XP did the trick.

update...i tried the 7800gt again, this time i cleared CMOS, and now i get a full BIOS screen display and menu, not just a brief image. the problem now is, when i boot to windows the display still goes blank and the monitor shuts down. i hear the windows theme but no display.

go in safe mode and see what happens :!
can you go in your mobo bios or does the monitor turn off and you can't see anything :?
have you tried another to use another Monitor ?


sounds like a resoultion issues format os or go in safe mode and do some changes.

I don't think your card is bad

i don't think that the card is bad either. i tried safe mode, and got the same results, the monitor shuts off whenever it boots into windows. the bios menu display is fine though. i might go ahead and try to reformat win xp.
