Hi,
I just bought a new PC, and I'm having a big problem....I'm about to go NUTS!!! I am writing this message from my old PC. Ok, I'll get to the point. When I got my new PC, I hooked everything up, and everything worked fine, PC booted up, went into Windows 98, the whole 9 yards. So since I wanted to replace the ATI AGP 8mb video card I had in my new computer with my TNT 16mb PCI from my old PC, I proceed to do so. I changed to VGA video mode through Windows 98's settings, and shut down the computer. I then took off the case, took the ATI card out of it's AGP slot, and put the TNT into a free PCI slot. I also installed the modem and CD-R from my old PC. I hooked everthing up CORRECTLY, and when I turned on my computer everything sounded like it was booting up ok, but when I turned on my Monitor, it gave me a message saying, "No signal input or cable disconnected", (This is the same message it gives me when I turn it on without hooking it up to my PC) even though the cable was perfectly connected!!! Even when I tried to hook it up to the ATI card again, it still gave me the same message! I even took my old 14" monitor and hooked it up to both cards, and it did the same thing...I am completely stumped....I cant imagine what I could have messed up, I barely did ANYTHING!!!! And also, I took my TNT 16mb video card and hooked it up with the PC im writng with now, and it works perfect....ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
Thanks,
Andrew
