Heya,
I have purchased a new AGP video card to replace the on-board one, but it simply will not work.
I put install it to the motherboard properly, and the light and fan of the video card do come on and stay on while the computer is running. But both Windows Vista and BIOS do not even acknowledge that it is there.
I have disabled the on-board video, uninstalled all relevant drivers, and tried just about everything!
I have installed video cards in the past with no problem; I do not understand why this one is not working. Is there some BIOS setting that I am not seeing?
Please help me, I am getting really frustrated by this.
Thanks,
Pip
PS. I do not know what motherboard I have, I am pretty sure it is very generic; it is a second hand computer that has had most components upgraded, now running Vista Home Basic. 512mb RAM, 80GB + 250GB hard drives, DVD-RW drive, Intel Celeron 2.2.. and the video can that I am trying to install is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9550 256meg. I have been told that this card will work on Vista.
