Problem w/ MSI9800PRO: No signal to CRT anymore

[Athlongamer]

I was messing around with my bios, trying to OC. And i rebooted like 6 times in a row. Each time, noticed that when the bios come up it "flickers" a few times, and then stays up. Well at sometime, i rebooted and it never came back up. So I cut all of it off and unplug it all, then it started up fine, well unfortinatly that strategy stopped working. Because now it won't display anything, but everything else seems to run fine.

Think it could have overheated? I have 1 sys. blower right underneath the card, then a front case fan and the fan on the card. Bad circulation?


Any ideas??!?!

First thing to try is to unplud the pc and reseat the vid card.

lol yeah i already did that, just forgot to tell you guys. I did notice that it was gettin kinda hot, when it was running about 4 days ago. But i thought it might have just been normal

Can you try the card in another rig?

 

[Athlongamer]

Wish i could but........nope

Umm.. OK, how about an old card to try out in your mobo.

Dang, trouble shooting gets hard with no spare parts.

Sorry for the late reply, i couldn't get to a computer. But yeah, i don't have another card i could put in it either, I have a voodoo3 but it's like not AGP or something or PCI, cuz it won't fit in either one. So i guess i'll try to go to a friends house to see if the card will display anything there. Hopefully it will! 🙁

tested the card and it works fine......idk maybe it's just the mobo??

Did you try clearing the CMOS?
(remember to unplug power from PSU)
