I have a HP 8430F desktop that I bought used from a electronic store through Ebay. It was wiped clean before being sent to me. I have the original HP recovery disc's to install Vista 64bit back on the PC. I am trying to get some video output to see what the PC is doing, but I am unable to do so. The PC was sold as being full functional, so I think it is something I am doing (or not doing) that is not allowing video output. The PC comes from HP with a video card already installed in the AGP slot that only has these outputs (HMDI, DVI, and S-Video). The built in video in the motherboard has a black cap screwed over the output on the back of the PC and says "Do Not Remove". I am unable to get any video source output from the PC. I am thinking it needs drivers to allow the AGP card to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brad2157@yahoo.com

Welcome to the forums!

Clear the bios.

If you are not getting video while restoring, this is normal for HP computers. The process is long and you have to be very patient.
