No Monitor Signal

GWRGMR · Dec 19, 2005, 07:05 AM

Hello,
I recently tried to install a Radeon 9550 256mb AGP, on a compaq. Being the idiot i am i did not uninstall the on-board video first, i inserted the videocard and now i get no signal to the monitor, I have tried removing the Radeon and using the onboard video again, but still no picture. All the fans seem to be spinning and there are no beeps,(there were usually none during startup). the power supply is 220w, wondering if that could be the problem, any help would be appreciated as i dont have much knowledge in hardware. thanx.

When you say the Num Lock light flashes, is this a constant flickering? if so it could either be loose or again motherboard troubles. With the power disconnected try removing and re-seating the ram (swap out if possible).

The reset of the bios is worth a try, I will see if there's an update for it also.

I tried reseating the RAM, only inserting one or the other, also, dont have a place where i can just buy RAM, so i dont have any additional sticks. Hope the bios reset works

BTW: was using a wireless, keyboard/mouse and changed to wired and the NUM light was constantly flashing, non-stop. thanks for the links already went there, thats where i got the bios reset idea
