At the moment I'm building a computer. The specs on it are
ASUS K8V-X SE motherboard
2gb of Corsair Ram DDR 400
AMD 64 Athlon 3400
Geforce 6800gt 256 megs (AGP)
Ok, my issue is this. I've got everything connected properly, when I turn on the computer all of the lights light up, and everything runs smooth, minus the fact that my monitor goes into sleep mode because it doesn't recognize my video card. I know that I have to go into the BIOS to make it so it doesn't go to onboard video (which btw there doesn't seem to be a slot for, or at least one that my monitor can plug into).
My question is this... If there is no onboard video slot capable for my monitor to plug into, how can I possibly get into the bios of my system to make it so my geforce card will be recognized?
Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but please any help would be appreciated.
I've tried reconnecting my monitor chord to the video card, but that came to no avail. I've tried reconnecting the video card to the motherboard, but once again my monitor went from missing signal to sleep mode as soon as I plugged it in. I've also unplugged all of the chords from my video card and let them reset for 20 minutes and retried it, but to no avail.
If anyone has any opinion on what may be the problem, please leave a message. At the moment I'm out of ideas, so anything is welcome. Thanks.
