I just recently purchased a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 for my pc, a compaq presario 6000, running windows xp (with service pack 2 installed). I tried to install it as the manual stated, but i have had only problems. My current situation is this:
1)I have disabled my on-board video card through windows.
2) I cannot access my BIOS with monitor connected to either video card.
3) I have removed the battery from the motherboard to have the BIOS reset
Even with all those things, i still can’t get a display on my monitor with either card now! I only get the window splash screen. The only difference i’ve noticed is that when i have the new video card installed to the PCI port with the monitor connected to it, i get the screen before Windows starts offering me to run safe mode etc. that i cannot toggle in. I cannot access BIOS with the new card installed either.
When i have the the monitor connected to the old video card, i can toggle in the same screen, but after i select the mode, the screen remains black.
I’m stuck, and in urgent need of assistance!
P.s. Already doubled checked that my computer could run the card, met requirements with ease.
