Why does my monitor not show anything with or without my new video card? Could it be motherboard failure?

My video card didn't seemed to have worked when I first inserted it into the PCI Express 2.0 slot. Once I took the card out and turned the computer back on again it worked fine. Then I inserted the card once more and it worked for a couple of minutes and then failed; so I removed the card and when I started my computer up my monitor would not show anything,not even windows load up page. Could this be that the motherboard fried? I'm running windows XP and I have a 500 watts PSU which is more than enough for the card to function and everything that is connected t the PSU. The video card taht I tried installing is the EVGA Nvidia geforce gtx 260. what could the problem be?? plz help!! thanks!!|||try plugging it in to all the ports on the back of the card.



make sure nothing smells like burnt up electronics.



If your lucky your mainboard should also have a Video output, try that to.



Also try turning your speakers up a lil bit and wait to see if you can still hear the windows sound at start up.



if you have a friend thats willing, maybe put your card in his computer, Or his card in yours. but i wouldnt honestly recommend that if you have a mobo killin' video card in your hands.





also Call Evga @ 1.888.880.EVGA (3842)
