Installed Graphics Card, Monitor Error (check Signal Cable)?
Jan 2, 2012
I just installed my ATI Radeon X1950 XT sapphire graphics card to my computer. I inserted it into the slot and plugged it in. Now when I turn on my computer the monitor keeps getting the Check Signal Cable error. I have it plugged in properly and everything not sure what is going on.
about a year ago I had a problem with my pc where I would get the error message "display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered" and the occasional BSOD. I solved this problem by simply flashing my bios. However a similar problem has now arrived ( note I have not changed any hardware since the last error) where:
- There is a constant buzzing from my monitor ( NOT a problem with the monitor as it works fine in safe mode with no buzzing, which is why I suspect a gpu problem)
- I get random "display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered" messages, but no BSODs. OR the display just goes black and I have to hard reset my pc.
Lately my pc had been repeatedly showing display driver nvlddmkm error. So I uninstalled all the nvidia drivers and took out the graphics card also. Today I plugged it again and has been running it using the microsoft drivers that came with windows. So far no problem has occurred. So is it the driver that is faulty or is it the card that is dying? Is there any way I can test it other than plugging in another card? I had the latest drivers when the display driver errors started to occur.
I had this issue with my graphics card and could not find a solution, I went into the BIOS and changed the sound from Auto to Enable and that gave me my sound back.
I installed the OEM version of Windows 7, which came with all the basic drivers, but looking at the dxdiag box, my version of the graphics card I have is much older than the one on the ATI website.
I have the ATI Radeon HD 2400 - 1GB the version in dxdiag says 8.632
The latest is v9.9
But I cant seem to remove the old driver to update it, and I know this is incorrect, but should I just install the new one?
After I reformatted windows 7 I notice that it looked funny and that my graphics card was set to standard and my monitor was set to generic pnp monitor. Ive downloaded the graphic card drivers from amd but they still dont show up.
Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) Dell Inc. Studio XPS 1645 A13 System Service Tag: 2T6BCN1 (support for this PC) Chassis Serial Number: 2T6BCN1 Enclosure Type: Portable
To wits end I am stumped after installing a new SSD HD today and clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OS.The problem I am having is that in device manager under Display Adapters it list Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Also for Monitors it Lists Generic PnP Monitor.I have downloaded and updated the latest drivers for each hardware and a I am still getting the same result.This is frustrating since I could not image my old version of Windows 7 from a larger,slower HD to the new/faster SSD HD. Windows 7 imaging suggests that the new HD must be larger than the old HD in order to do an image restore.I have read this is not the case however found that in no way have I been able to successfully image restore my old OS from the larger HD to the new smaller SSD HD.
ok I have no idea on this one and the good news is i can't fix it LOL.
i have an hp m9340f purchased a couple new nvidea graphics cards when I started getting the noisy fan issue .
Installed windows 7 everything worked great but was having problems with windows media center after I went to a 56k connection so i decided to format start over,
Everytime it installs the drivers for my nvidea graphics card my monitor goes black and has no signal. i tried both dif cards. same problem. I am guessing it is the recommended settings but since I only have one monitor I can't change the settings cause.. can't see to do it, and I have no other monitor to hook to to try.
I can start up in safe mode so any idea's how to fix this issue or change it all to 800 x 600 so i can see when it starts up with new drivers .....
i have this big problem is that my graphics card as a problem that in almost 2 years it never did thisi never had problems with this computerbut what happend is that i use a LCD screen the resolution is use is 1768x992 and i use a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT graphics card what happends is that when i turn the computer on i see the screen with ALOT of lines with weird colors and i thought this was a drivers problem so i installed the graphics card drive and clean the PC up for the 2nd time nothing worked so i tried formating it but i doubt it that would work because those lines where there so yeai did manage on getting a screen cap from the windows and it looks like thishe weird part is that the lines and stuff that appear on the screen as well dont show up on the picture so i tried using another monitor and it had the same resultim using Windows Ultimate 32 bit i have my graphics card connected to my TV(LCD) with a HDMI cable i thought it could be that so i tried another cable it didnt work so at this point i ran out of ideas
My comp keeps crashing on me. I've tried all of the trouble shooting i've found here from these forums and am still having problems. I've done about 30 fresh installs of windows in the past 6 months trying to get it to work properly. Doesn't matter if i'm running of my onboard video or my added vid cards. Doesn't matter if I run one or both RAM sticks. Doesn't matter if I run one or both vid cards. The pop up I get in the corner is what I've gone with for looking into trouble shooting. It refers to the graphics drivers crashing and then recovering. Doesn't matter if nothing is happening or not. Can sit fine for days, can turn it on and get 10 seconds out of it before it crashes. If i had any codes that it would give me I would help more on the situation. But when it crashes and doesn't recover I get no video; on either monitor. I'm getting very frustrated, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. This is the 4th computer I've built. First to involve any windows newer then XP. XP doesn't run my comp the way I would like it to. Some of the programs I use don't work with the 64-bit XP OS.
how will I know whether graphics card drivers are installed on my Dell Inspiron 15R 5520.This laptop comes with Dedicated built-in AMD Radeon 7670M 1GB graphics card.I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed.
I just accidentally changed my settings on my grapics card so that I can no longer see my desktop on the monitor connected to my HTPC. My HTPC has a monitor attached to it and it also has an HDMI out from the graphics card going to an LED TV in another room. I accidentally switched it so that the desktop can only be seen on the other TV in the other room.
All I can see on the monitor is the blank Windows 7 logo (no desktop icons) and I cannot navigate back to my AMD control page to undo this. I tried rebooting but this does not work. This is an issue as I don't have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse that I can use in the other room to control the desktop. How do I reset this? I am using a AMD HD 6750 graphics card.
The problem I am having is I have connected my pc to my samsung tv The image and sound are showing up on the tv, however, I am getting an error message on the tv saying NO SIGNAL.

I am getting a playbackmessage on my HTPC in WMC saying:
"Video playback is not currently allowed. This is often due to incorrect drivers for your graphics card, because the card has less than 64MB of memory or because the card id not DirectX 9 compatible."
I am using a Saphire Radeon HG6750. Which should be more than fine. And the onboard card on my Motherboard should also be fine.
Everything was working fine. I have been fiddling with my display options as I have my HTPC feeding three 1080p TVs via a Gefen HDMI switch. Finally got it so that all three TVs are displaying at 1080p and then my playback errors start.
[As a side note, I have been noticing that when I remote in via a laptop that I get AMD error messages. I think this is regarding my onboard card. When you remote in, the HG6750 does not show up in the Tray. It defaults to the onboard card]
I present a dilemma and acquire some assistance with anyone who is tech savvy in computers. Before I describe my problem, I just want to let you know that I have searched for this error and received no solution. But, I believe I have narrowed down what the problem is and I have a strong feeling it has something to do with or revolving around my graphics card(?). I have a report that I saved in my notepad here after the BSOD and it states that it will help describe my problem but I cannot locate it within my computer files(?) (Doesn't show up.)Any game I try to run will crash randomly, even with the settings on low, so I figured it's graphics related(?) I hope anyone can decipher this, it's very confusing and certainly frustrating. I have tried anti-virus scans, registry cleaners, even cleaning out my computer, everything seems to be in place and running fine, the whole nine yards. [code]
I installed a new graphics card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) and since then my computer has been very unstable and is crashing a lot. The card is factory overclocked and I think it is faulty. Do you know of a way to underclock the card, so I can test if it is the overclock?
PSU: Enermax EMG700AWT
*edit*So I used Afterburner to set my core clock to -104 and my power limit to 72% and this causes my card to boost to about 980MHz. With these settings the crashing has stopped. So the card cannot be used with the factory OC settings. So should I RMA?
i just bought a new video card (EVGA GTX260) yesterday and installed it and played with it with no problem....(one day later)......until now so basically here what happens now. when i boot up it goes through the "starting up" phase and when the window 7 says "Welcome" after that i just get a blue screen, no word no picture just blue!
So i press the reset button and i am only able to go to my desktop menu by safe mode! and if i try to go through "start up computer regular" it would just lead me to the blue plane screen....
The reason why i think it is the driver is because in safe mode i am able to uninstall my nvidia driver. Restart and WOW i am back to my "REGULAR" desktop menu but with no driver. SO as soon as i am on my screen Window 7 wants install the newly detected video card's drivers for me and i do. when i restart BAM! back to the blue screen..
I was watching a movie on Netflix, stopped to go out and closed my laptop (HP Pavillion dv100 with Windows 7) so it would sleep till I got back from the store. Unfortunately, it tried but it said it couldn't "come out of hibernation" so I said OK to restarting it. But then it kept making funny noises with the DVD drive so I took out the DVD movie. [I'd left it in there for a couple of weeks cuz the DVD &/or WMD also wasn't working and I'd been working on installing an updated driverfor my video card but I wasn't getting anywhere.] Once it was DVD-less it tried to restart, but it got to the B & W Intel screen and then tried but failed to open Windows 7 and then it flashed the following error message (and has ever since):[CODe]
friend speed his computer up by turning off certain things off from startup and services like skype and steam when suddenly it crashed after a reboot. then the message pxe-e61 media test failure check cable comes up every time I reboot. I need help as soon as possible because he has a paper that is due and I'm feeling really bad for causing thihe hard drive is detected in the BIOS. It's a Hitachi. I didn't get the model number because he's not very happy right now. I also can't seem to get pass the Windows logo when I pop a Windows 7 boot disc in there.
As you may see I am connected to the internet but I cannot see the signal bars on the taskbar.my laptop information:Toshiba Satelite M645 S4070Windows 7 Home Premium. 64-bitI also cannot do a system restore of the check disk error i am seeing.below is an image of the results:[CODE]
I have an HP dv5 notebook PC with windows 7 (64bit) I3 cpu m330@2.13 ghz. I recently had to wipe my hard drive due to a virus. I bought this 2nd hand and wasn't provided any disks. I do have a Dell re-installation DVD with the same OS. I realize this disk won't install my drivers but was hoping there was a way i could install just the OS and download the drivers after. I do have the original product key for the HP. Now when i start up it says "No bootable disk-- insert boot disk and press any key" or "Media test failure, check cable". Even with before mentioned re-installation disk inserted. When i goto Setup Utility: Diagnostics and run the Primary Hard Disk Self Test and the memory Test it Passes both. When i go to System configuration (f10) this is what i see[CODE]
Alright so it worked when I left to go pay a bill. Come back and it has no signal. I tried the PC on my TV to see if it worked and it does no problem, so I know the PC is not at fault. Tried a DVI cable and a VGA. Tried restarting and powering off everything.
i read the manual and followed the instructions as best as i could but when i was done and hit the power button, everything turned on except i I'm not getting any signal on my tv. Im using an HDMI cable i'm guessing thats the problem but I'm afraid to go back and try to fix anything. I also noticed a red LED go off as soon as i hit the power button but it never lights up again. (Only once) I think its my motherboard. Also, i tried turning it on about times and the last time i turned it on, my fans connected to the motherboard were no longer turning on. Im afraid i might've burned my motherboard. Here are my specs:
I am having an error with my speakers, it says no audio device is installed, I did directX diagnostic tool test and it says I have no sound card installed...
I have a eMachines ET1300-2 (yes, I know, emachines aren't great) running Win7 Ultimate.Specs: Newegg.com - eMachines ET1300-02 18.5" Desktop PC Athlon X2 4850e(2.5GHz) 3GB DDR2 160GB HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce G100 Windows Vista Home PremiumA family member shut it off last night but this morning it started once or twice but stopped sending signals to the monitor part way through each time. The other times I started to run it, it doesn't display any BIOS or anything, and it doesnt seem like anything is runnin except the fans and lights.I got it into safe mode initially at one point, but again, the signal to the monitor cut out and I have no idea what happened after that.Each time I power-button-ed it off.Things were running fine until recently; I did install AirDisplay (forgot there was no wifi - I'm used to my laptop which does).I think it is expected, but I tried to put in the recovery CD to boot from CD, but, of course, nothing displayed.
I just upgraded my AMD catalyst software to 12.4 on my HTPC. Been noticing that when I am viewing via my Sharp 19"LED TV I get signal cut out after about 20 minutes. I notice this when my screen save comes on in WMC. It eventually craps out and I get "no signal" messages on my screen. It comes back if I simply click on the mouse.This never used to happen before. I could leave the HTPC on over night and simply turn the TV monitor off. When I would turn the monitor on in the morning, the Desktop would be visible.Are there new settings in 12.4 that could be causing signal cut out (i.e. like an energy saver option)?
