Msi ati 4830 - blank screen

[wbarman]

Yesterday I bought MSI 4830 512MB OC graphic card to upgrade my older pc (motherboard ASUS P5WD2 Premium, monitor CRT, AOC 9 with vga connector, old graphic c. ATI 800 GTO). I removed old GC and installed new one. But there was blank screen. I have tried to install my old x800 to second PCIe simultaneously with ati 4830. And I found out this: 1) 4830 doesn't work alone, but it work if there is second GC(monitor is connected to 4830). 2) after proper driver install, config, I removed old GC (monitor is connected to 4830) and it doesn't work - just blank screen, but i can hear that win xp is starting (and i can turn it off with button on my keyboard). Please help me !

put your old graphics card in enter the mb bios and on display init set it it for the first pcie slot swap the cards and try it. pretty strange deal though.

I've found some solution. It's the matter of BIOS. 4830 can operate alone. After turning PC on, the 4830 is displaying nothing. I have to press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reset PC during POST. And miracle happens. GC is working fine. I must write to ASUS.
