First, I put in the new video card and the computer booted fine, I can see the boot screen and then into windows. During the installation of the driver, around 50% or so, the screen goes completely blank (no signal to the LCD). I waited a few minutes, nothing happened, so I restarted the computer. I hear the computer boot fine but still only a blank screen. I took out the 7600GS and put in my old 4400Ti and the LCD was fine, it displayed everything from the boot screen into windows. I uninstalled the drivers and put back the 7600GS to try again, still only getting a blank screen with no signal. However, I connected the S-video cable to the 7600GS and output to a TV and everything was fine. But when I connect it to the LCD thru the analog connector, there was no signal to the LCD, only a blank screen.
I have a P4 2.4Ghz, Asus P4PE mobo, 1.5G ram, 420W powersupply. I think the powersupply is fine because the video card works when connected thru the S-video cable.
What to do?|||I understand that you had a 640x480 screen with the new card at first, which went blank during driver loading. What I'm not clear on is, after you went back to the old card and uninstalled the new drivers, then went back to the new card, did you ever have any video through the VGA again or did it stay blank after this? If it stayed blank, you probably have a bad card. If it still worked in 640x480 mode, then you may have the wrong driver. In either case I'd talk to tech support and get a new driver or an RMA.|||I'm thinking it's a compatibility issue between your motherboard and your video card. The power supply is obviously not the issue, nor is the RAM or processor.
What type of monitor are you using? I once worked on a HP monitor that would only work with HP computers. Believe it or not, I tested that thing on all sorts of machines and got no results. So I'm sort of wondering if your monitor just won't work with that graphics card through the analog input. I'd recommend trying it with an old CRT if you have one around.
Best of luck. =)|||Are you sure it is AGP, I just bought one of those and it was PCI-e.
