PJ ... does your computer POST with the new graphics card? In other words, does the computer boot but you just don't see anything? or does the computer totally hang at the very beginning and NOT boot at all?

i can hear the computer start...it usally beeps but with the new card in i dont hear it.

its like the monitor dosnt respond

I think I'll read this as it's not booting ...

1) It's not PCI express right?

2) What was your old card? or was it onboard video

[PJ]

its APG

it wasnt on board it was a GeForce4 MX 440

he has the monitor plugged into the wrong port on the back of the vid card

In addition to the above information make sure all cards including the new one are fully seated and that all IDE/SATA/Power cables are seated as well.

yes they were in the right slots
