PCI Video Card Issue

[hovanec]

I just bought a new PCI video card. Its a Radeon 9200SE. I bought it for my cousin's computer because he needed something better than on board video and he doesn't have the money to buy a new mother board. His motherboard doesn't have AGP either, so I had to go this route. He installed the card in 2 different PCI ports on the motherboard and when he turns his computer on he doesnt get any picture.

Any suggestions?

hook the monitor to the built in video port, go into bios, search for video output, select pci card. save setting, disconnect monitor from built in video output connect to pci card.

Thank you very much for your help. That is what I thought I was goign to have to do, but my cousin in 14 and not very handy with his computer. I was hoping there was an easier way, but I'll have to talk him through it. Navigating a Bios with someone that isn't that great with computers is very challenging.

I appreciate the help
