    Graphic Card Problem

    On a whim, decided to upgrade the graphics card from a Savage4 32Mb PCI to an Nvidia Geforce AGP 64. Trouble is, I am not getting any display whatsoever with either card.

    I can hear the HDD booting up, but the monitor fails to start up. I have checked the seating on the card, and everything seems ok as there is a mounting clip on the mobo to secure it, and the monitor is turned on and securely attached. Thinking it was a duff card, I replaced the one but have exactly the same problem. No Post Beeps to with either. Anybody any ideas?

    Many thanks in advance


    System Gigabyte GA7-ZXR

    Bent pin on the monitor-to-computer cable connector?

    Thanks Vernon, turned out that the mobo was goosed. The flow solder hadn't gone all the way through Replaced with a new one all hunky dory now
