OK ... I'm really buggered now.
First off the BIOS
No mention at all of a onboard monitor or video card in the peripherals section. Odd.
When I put the monitor plug into the onboard I get OUT OF RANGE, when I put it in the new card I get SIGNAL CABLE NOT CONNECTED.
I'm in at safe mode now and really messed up so any help would be great. In fact I think the reason the 3D card wasn't working earlier was because I was in at a greater form of safe mode then.
So how do I get my onboard back or get my new one set up? (realize this may be beyond the old internet help now and into taking it in)
Peripheral Section of BIOS
IDE DMA Transfer Access - Enabled
On Chip IDE CHannel0 - Enabled
On Chip IDE Channel1 - Enabled
On Chip Serial ATA - Enabled
AC97 Audio - Disabled (though I just enabled it to get a change to create a Safe Mode Entry)
USB 1.1 Controller - Enabled
USB 2.0 Controller - Enabled
USB Keyboard Support - Disabled
USB Mouse Support - Disabled
Onboard H/W LAN - Enabled
Onboard LAN Boot Rom - Disabled
Onboard FDC Controller - Enabled
Onboard Serial Port 1 - 3F8IRQ4
Onboard Serial Port 2 - 2F8IRQ3
UART Mode Select - Normal
Onboard Parallel Port - 378IRQ7
Parallel Port Mode - SPP
Game Port Address - Disabled
Midi Port Address - Disabled
two were shaded out and couldn't be changed
UR2 Duplex Mode - HALF
Midi Port IRQ - 10
any thoughts? Any way to get my onboard back and just return the new video card or get the new vid card working?
What a freaking mess.
