Sapphire 9600xt not working

[bodmanza]

I just bought a Sapphire 9600xt, and when i turn on my comp nothing displays on the screen. The monitor is pretty old(like 7+ years), however it works on this computer I am using now. The video card fan runs fine and all but it doesnt display anything...
Anyone know what the issue is?

Are you getting any post beeps from you case speaker?

[bodmanza]

yup. ive used a crappy old pci video card to do the bios

[theyneverknew]

That doesnt answer the question :confused: When you try to boot with the 9600XT as the vid card do you get a beep sequence when your comp is POSTing? :cheers:

It could just be that the card is a dud (it does happen now and again) and ya just need to RMA the thing for another but have ya tried it in another PC to be sure.
