Intel D975XBX2

Post by jcomp »

I just built a desktop computer with the Intel D975XBX2 motherboard. Where do I connect a monitor so I can set the BIOS? It doesn't recognize my video card, so I can't see anything!!!!

Video card goes into motherboard, plug video cable to videocard and to monitor. Specs would help also.

I have a video card and a monitor connected to it. When I power up, all of the leds and fans go on, but nothing on the monitor.

Does the monitor turn on when it's disconnected from the GFX card? You should get a "No Signal" message.

I get "no signal" on the monitor. I have an Intel Express Installer Driver CD that says "install this CD first". I startup with it in the DVD Drive. The fans and LEDs come on and the indicator light on the DVD comes on for for a few seconds. Nothing happens with the monitor....it just stays black.
