I built my first system using an Asus A7N8X mb and a Matrox G550 card. I tried starting up, but I'm not getting any video output. I know the monitor works because I've used it on 2 other computers, and I've been seing other people with problems using Asus boards and Matrox cards. Am I doing something wrong, or do these two just not play well together?

i would think that it should work, does a red light come on next to the AGP slot when it comes on?

No, the light is green. I posted this issue in another section of the forums, and someone recommended reseating the RAM and video card, clearing the BIOS, and then restarting. But I don't know how to clear the BIOS.

I've also tried to find out whether the G550 is a 3.3V card and if the A7N8X Deluxe is a 1.5V only board, but I don't think I ever found out about the G550.

Any offhand advice on how to clear the BIOS or the voltage compatiblility of the G550 and the Asus board?
