Simple Question about my video problems.

[HughG]

Im just gonna give my sister computer away to a friend cause i f**ked up hers.

anyway ill keep the lost story short.
My sister has a mx440 64mb ddr card in there.
since this girls not gonna pay me for it, im dont want to give her a video card that i spend 120 bucks on a year ago.
I have a pci card which is the exact same model she has.

Heres the problem.
When i connect my monitor to the pci video card it doesnt work, no picture.
When i connect to the pci and leave the agp one in the slot, it works.
But heres the part when i take out the agp card it doensnt work agian.
any ideas ???

im going nuts here.


MErry Christmas to all of you by the way and thanks for help.

Did you play with the settings that modifies which one (PCI or AGP) should be the main video card on BIOS?

k heres what i did lol
yeah i already did what you told me to do .

it still didnt work,
but there was another options about irqs and stuff like that .

ill check in a bit.
that one was on pci slot1.
i changed it to auto and it worked.

its funny my moms like son say jesus help me and itll work.
i was like mom get away im pissed already.
she started to lecture me and i said it, with faith ofcourse and boom it worked.

Just so you know the first PCI slot shares IRQ resources with the AGP slot. So there can sometimes be conflicts with cards placed in slot 1.

I always use the first PCI slot as a last resort if all others are full.
