I had a PCI graphic card. geforce 2. it works. but now I got a AGP card ATI 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE with 64 MB ram.
When I put it in to AGP, it goes in its okay. but when I plugg the blue monitor thing to the new graphic card. I cannot see a thing its black secreen. but the monitor is ON. when I plugg it back to the geforce ==> PCI .. it shows u windows as normal.

whats the problem?

thanks

btw. my monitor is not that new its 2 years old. but why does it not work !

I would start by taking the old card out and see what happens. =)

You might have to enable your AGP slot in the bios or something as well...but I would try what Niann suggested first.

Also, there are different speeds of AGP slots (2x, 4x, 8x)...your card might not be compatible with your motherboard...
