hello,

i was having an issue with a video card and somone suggested i turn off the onboard graphics. So i did but it didnt help. now the problem is that when i boot, it no longer displays anything anywhere. it might be that the actual video isnt coming up for the post and bios? that doesnt make sense but maybe... i hope im not really sqrewed but it seems like it.

thanks for any tips

did you re-enable the onboard gfx?

have you tried reseting the mb to Failsafe defaults ?

have you tried clearing the cmos ? short the jumpers or remove the battery for a few minutes

This may seem like a dumb question, but did you switch your monitor cable to the expansion card after turning off the onboard graphics?
I would need more info and system specs to assist any further.

buzznut,

yes i did but due to the defective card (ati 4890) i am not able to even boot with it attached, so once i figured out that i decided to return the video card. but when i went back to try to load without the videocard, the motherboard was no longer displaying anything. my system:

m4a7t-e asus board
phenom 2 945 4x3.0
1 tb sata
4890 radeon card
4 gb ddr3 ram
