Hi everyone, One of my friends who bought an "ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9600XT 128MB" card, and tried to install it into the AGP port of his "Compaq Presario s4300nx" computer. When he tried to turn on the PC, there is nothing on the screen(black screen). So what is wrong? His computer is Pentium 4 2.4GHz, 512MB DDR, and running Windows XP. Since his All-in-wonder card supports AGP 4x/8x, but it doesn't mention anything about AGP 1x. However, I have checked compaq website for his model of computer, but so far I couldn't find the info about the AGP port on his motherboard? Note: his computer has a build-in video card. Thank you so much for any helps or advices.

did he disable the onboard graphics in the bios? I hear that compaq computers dont like to be upgraded. little more feedback plz. My Rig: 1040Mhz Pentium 3 OC'd at 1.2Ghz Aopen MX3WPRO-E mobo Intel 810 chipset Onboard Graphics Not sure how many MB 128mb RAM 120GB Maxtor Hard Drive My Old Rig: AMD K6 400Mhz

he couldn't disable the buil-in graphic because the POST screen didn't display at all. There is nothing on the screen. I really appreciate for any suggestions or advices.

Take out the new card (from whatever it is plugged into) and put it baclk like it was. F10 on startup for Compaq. You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users

Thank you. But there is nothing on the screen. Even if I press F10, then I couldn't see anything. Just imagine that it is like there is NO connection to the video card.

Did you plug the monitor into the right VGA port? Or is it still plugged into the replaced video adapter? You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users
