I have no vga out put I did uninstall the card drivers for a new card but the card won't fit so I had to in stall the drivers again but it won't let me

When you say the card won't fit, is this a new card you tried to install and does not fit into the slot?

What happened to old card?

As much details as possible will help out

The new card is a pci express and the old one is on board

Nothing you can do if you have a pci-e card and board does not have the slot for it.

I assume you do have PCI slots and probably an AGP slot, will have to get hold of what will work for your board. If you purchased it, see if you can exchange it and if need be, bring PC to the store to make sure you get what you may need.

In meantime, use on-board one if not already

The on board one has no drivers and it looks to be the monitor

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

What OS?

So the on-board does work but you uninstalled them to try out the new card and now you want to go back to onboard card?

The os is xp and th new card is going bk to overcolckers but the drivers for the new one never went on there to start with due to the card size

michael226 · Sep 26, 2009, 07:50 AM

And the on board has no drivers

seahwk83 · Sep 26, 2009, 07:54 AM

Well if you deleted the original on-board drivers, you should still be able to start the computer attached to the on board card as when windows starts, if it does not find drivers for your video, Windows uses a generic VGA driver so the system will boot.

Did the on-board card work before or did it stop working and that is why you bought a new card?

And right now you have the monitor attached to the on-board vga output?

michael226 · Sep 26, 2009, 07:56 AM

new card was bought due to out put size was only 640X480 so a new one was got and all I get from the monitor is unsuport input

seahwk83 · Sep 26, 2009, 07:58 AM

Is the monitor hooked up now to the vga port on the computer now?

What happens when you turn on the computer?

michael226 · Sep 26, 2009, 08:00 AM

If you are getting a No Signal, it is one of 2 things (monitor or video card)

As mentioned before, if your monitor is attached to the on-board VGA output. Windows will install a generic VGA driver so the system can boot if it cannot find other drivers.

With that said, this would indicate there may be a problem with the monitor.
-Do you have access to another monitor you can try to see if you can get it to boot?
-Also, check the pins on the monitor cable to make sure they are not bent in any way and is snuggly attached to the PC.

So, either the on-board video card is bad (as windows installs generic driver on boot, but if no signal, that means the computer does not detect a monitor attached to the computer)
-So, it is the monitor or the cable
-Or the on board video card

Somewhere in above info is what you need to find out.
-Try another monitor if possible
-check to make sure no bent pins on cable
-reattach the cable snuggly
-Try this monitor on another computer to see if it works or not (this will rule out the monitor if works on another computer)

Those are the steps you need to troubleshoot this.

-The only thing no mentioned in above troubleshoting is to find or get another video card that will work with your computer but I would suggest to try above first and then go from there with new card.

Everything you need is there, just have troubleshoot one item at a time.
