Problem with new video cards, please help!?

Hi, I had an old video card that is very slow, I bought a new one and installed it. I didn't uninstall the old one because people told me it should be fine. When I turned on the new one the screen didn't turn on... so I figure I should uninstall the old card before adding the new one, when I switched it back the old one is now not working either... my good old card and my brand new card both don't work?! Please help, what can I do, what is the problem?|||hi



There is a proper procedure to install agp adaptor card ACTUALLY ur o/s doesn't recognize the hardware in initial u have to follow these simple steps shutdown ur pc and connect the monitor cable to on-board monitor connector and boot ur pc if boots normal there is no problem with ur pc un- install all drivers and shutdown and then install ur agp card check motherboard bios settings in on-board options search for (AGI/PCI) something like that and then boot up in normal mode if ur pc boots up then install all drivers and then change bios settings as mentioned (agi/pci) and change monitor cable to agp card connector..



if ur pc do not respond at all even in on-board monitor there is serious problem with motherboard if boots up with on-board and not with agp card check bios settings with old one and speed of new AGP card and ur motherboard manual of AGP speed support etc .



hope this will help u



even all this ur unable to solve the problem contact system engineer and explain the whole exercise he may help u out of this ...



Best of luck :-) ...
