That doesn't make sense if its not working unless the PCI/AGP/PCIe slot on the motherboard is fried
Jump to Post— sknake 1,622My guess would be the motherboard then. You didn't try to hotswap the card did you? ;)
Jump to Post— sknake 1,622Anything is possible but that I doubt that is the issue. Do you hear any beeps from the motherboard when it boots, or can you hear the hard drive working after ~20seconds?

No. Could it possibly be the power supply.

try starting in safe mode and set it to VGA. It may be that the drivers for your card are too new. If that doesn't work, check the motherboard for swollen capacitors. I had several that had those and it showed up with bad video.

Did you mean to tell him to go to bios to check to see if the video card is being picked up in bios?
