Onboard Video

[w0lf42]

I'm trying to get the video output to the EVGA GeForce 7600GT, but it's only displaying on the onboard video.

* Mainboard: ASRock K8NF4G
* CPU: AMD Turion 64 MT32(WOF) Lancaster 1.8GHz 512KB L2AMD Turion 64 MT32(WOF) Lancaster 1.8GHz 512KB L2
* Video: EVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MBEVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB

I've tested the EVGA GeForce 7600GT AND an EVGA GeForce 7800GT on this board, but neither display anything. On another mainboard, I've tested both of these cards and they both display video.

I've looked through my entire BIOS and I'm unable to find any settings that are preventing me from using my PCI Express Video Card. If anyone is willing to look through this and find something, I'd be very appreciative. THX

I highlighted the areas in bold of the 2 things you should be looking at. In your manual on page 11 this:


Installing an expansion card
Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power
supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware
settings for the card before you start the installation.
Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in
a chassis).
Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the
screws for later use.
Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6. Replace the system cover.
2.4 Easy Multi Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports Multi Monitor upgrade. With the internal onboard VGA
and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits
of Multi Monitor feature. If you plan to enable the function of onboard VGA, please
enter the option ?Share Memory? of BIOS to adjust the memory capability to
[16MB], [32MB], [64MB], or [128MB]. Please note that the value you select should
be less than the total capability of the system memory. The default value of ?Share
Memory? is [Auto], which will disable onboard VGA function when installing VGA
card. After setting up BIOS, you can install VGA cards and VGA card drivers to
enjoy multi-monitors.


hope this helps

I had it set to [Auto] because I don't want multi-monitors. Though, I tried it with all values (16, 32, 64, 128) and I still don't get any video output to the PCIE card and MS Windows' Device Manager doesn't display my display adapter.

Thanks for the response. I'm beginning to wonder if the PCIE slot is dead.
