Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 No Display Windows Vista 64 Bit Business - that pretty much describes it. This is a Dell Precision T3400 that came from a company that decided to upgrade its computers. The only thing I can tell about it is that they removed one of the drives which was set up in RAID configuration. I set the BIOS to autodetect RAID (one hard drive) and yay the computer runs wonderfully and fast but only with the generic video driver. When I attempt to install the driver for the card, it boots but there is no display. I have done the following:
1. Updated BIOS
2. Clean re-install of both Vista and the video driver.
3. Made sure no antivirus software was running.
4. Tried different versions of Nvidia drivers, including of course the latest of the card driver.
5. Unplugged and re-plugged the card and monitor.
There are probably more things I've tried but I'm starting to lose count.
I have no other monitor I can plug into to check it that way - just the one with DVI connector which is a Gateway FPD 1930. I have an old video card, but there is no slot for it in this motherboard. I'm starting to think the card itself is damaged. I really have no real need for the Quadro and am thinking of buying a 30~40 dollar Geforce card but I hate to just throw money at it when I am not entirely sure, and BTW, the Quadro FX 1700 sounds like a pretty decent card.
But I see alot of this on forums but no clear answers. Some find one way while others find another. It's just a monitor, it's just a card. It's 2013. This should be easy. But maybe it is easy, and it is the card and I keep trying to fix something unfixable without simply replacing it. If you enjoy troubleshooting, give me a shoutout and I will give it a try.
