|  Monitor Turns on but Nothing Appears
Hey there...
I got a problem with my Dell 8100 and a dell monitor.
Now i was having issues with the memory , so i replaced it with a backup set of 512mb i had. But when i installed the memory and plugged all the cords back in , but monitor would be all black. Now i have nvidia geforce 2 32 mb video card. Now im positive its not the monitor , because i tried the dell monitor on my ibm and it worked . The video card seems to fit into the slot okay and it isnt loose . So what could be the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Gallifrey | Did you disable the onboard video in the BIOS and load the drivers for the card?

You probably just put incompatible ram in or something like that. Or faulty ram. Swap sticks out and try again. |

Disable onboard video.
Use only one stick of ram in the first slot.
Set bios to your graphics card type (agp, pci, pci-e.)
Maybe pull out the graphics card and reseat it.
Are the ram sticks the same type (ecc, non-ecc)?
