Re: CMOS after changing mobo battery

this is the mobo you said you had......M7VIG 400,
a quick search showed it to have an AGP slot

First off, I remember now it was in the add/remove programs where you
uninstall the old video drivers, I think. But I can check that out later.
Lets move on.
Ok, this PC a HP Pavilion 503n doesn't come with an AGP slot. All the
better I think, all I have to do is load up the drivers for that GeForce FX
5200 and mess things up here so my brother has a cow.
Ok, I dug into my box and found a brand new graphics card I bought probably
3 years ago. Brand new still in the wrappers. It's an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and
yes it has AGP 8x/4x. I know this card works. It's brand new too, but bought
3 years ago so there is the compatibility.
Let me install it and get back to you. Wait, hold on, brb, I'll do it now.
I'm really getting pissed or frustrated here. I put it onto the VGA
connector and the keyboard lights didn't even come on, and then I switched it
back to the DVI connector, which I've always been using and the keyboard
lights came up when I fired it up. Still nothing on the monitor, though. Let
me give it another shot with the jumper with it plugged back into the DVI. I
tried it with the VGA and nothing. BRB
Ok, nothing. I'm just really fed up with this motherboard and whole mess.
I've run the jumpers every which way but loose. NOTHING on the monitor. At
least, it's firing up, but I could've told you it's not the card. I knew the
128 DDR Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 worked.
What do you think is the next solution. Trash the motherboard. I did buy
another mobo from newegg. com before I read the reviews and I regret it. I
did get a free 512 stick of DDR 400 RAM thrown in free. It's like I bought
the RAM and got the mobo free. I paid about $55 bucks out the door for all.
Ok, here's the model of the mobo, it's an Elitegroup GF6100-M754 mobo/CPU
combo. There is no heatsink and fan assembly included. That's why I haven't
tried that.
Wait, I'm going to give this a shot. Oh, but I don't think there is a AGP
slot on the board. It's a PCI. I give up.
Tell me what you think.
Thanks, attilathehun1
Hold on a second, I just went back and read your message about the 8x and
4x AGP and it bugs me. Anotherwords, this AGP 8x model ATI Radeon X 1050
card, bought 2 weeks ago from Best Buy, won't ever be able to be used on the
MIGV7 400 motherboard? If that's the case then the manufacturer is doing on
purpose. Someone buys a video card, sticks it into his draw for a year, then
finds out it's not compatible anymore with his new motherboard. There should
be backward compatibility.
Ok, back to the install of this new card. BRB
I"m right in the procedure of installing it, and I've always used the CRT
monitor on the DVI connector. Anotherwords, I have an asaptor DVI to VGA and
I always use it if there is a DVI connector on the card regardless if it's a
flat panel or CRT monitor. Is that correct, or I don't get any better results
and should just plug it straight into the VGA connector?
Ok, back to the install, brb.
