hey guys,
i have just installed a new motherboard, cpu and ram. Im not a pc noob, but when it comes to upgrading my motherboard, i didnt know egsactly what i was doing. But i followed instructions and got everything installed. Here is the specs
ASUS MVP VIA K8T890 socket AM2 motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+ dual core 2.5ghz energy efficient CPU (socket AM2)
1gb 240 pin ddr2 dimm ram
coolmasters 450w power supply
now to the problem, basicly, my pc boots up fine, it does the power tests like it says in the manual, but, i have no signal in my monitor. The motherboard has no inbuilt graphics card, so it has no slot for a monitor connection, so i have got my ATI RADEON x550 256mb connect 3d graphics card in the pci-e slot, and running the monitor through it, but it pics up no signal. is my graphics card not compatible? are my missing something little here? if it helps, my last system was a amd 64 1.8ghz processor, with 2x 512mb ddr ram, same graphics card and power supply, running windows vista ultimate.
please help
