Hello,

I already posted this but I got no helpfull answers - so here we go again:

I recently bought a new PC with the MSI K7N420 pro M/B and ASUS V8200 G.Card.
After I installed all the components I connected the V8200 to the M/B and pushed the Power button.
Nothing works. It doesn't even do the POST. The indicator LED's on the M/B say there is a problem with the VGA.
I tried the V8200 on another PC and it worked just fine. I also tried to connect an older ELSA GeForce2 card to the MSI M/B and it also worked fine. The built in MX G.Card worked fine as well.
The v. card doesn't work also on my friend's asus A7N266-E (does it have anything against Nforce?!)

Does anyone have an idea what's the problem?
(I conntected asus & MSI - still no worrd...)

I update the M/B BIOS's (I am sure) to the latest bios revision (2.3).

Thanks,

Iddo

nvidias Nforce chipset needs severe revision, i actually sold my K7Npro420 on these boards. I couldnt stand all the issues, i stand my ground that the next revision chipset will rock!!!

the nforce chipset only allows for 1.5v AGP, the v8200 is a 3.3v AGP card, therefore it will not work.
