A few days ago, I uninstalled my old graphic card drive to install a new one. It is a Leadtek Winfast PX 7900 GT TDH graphic card. However, after I uninstalled the drive, the whole thing stopped working. It started up alright (can hear the windows start sound). However, nothing appears on the screen! The screen just say "No Signal". I checked the graphic card itself on another com of my friend's, it worked perfectly. Can any hardware pros out there please help me? Thank you very much!

Not a pro but I'd suggest reinstalling Windows...

EDIT
Is it 'No Signal' all the time? Did u see anything before Windows...

Can you go to BIOS configuration and stuff...? System recovery and things

i have a very qualified professional to help you out on your lil problem.



























































lol, sorry but i don't really know why its doing that just thought this would make you feel a lil bit better

Check the Cables coming form you moniter to ur GFX Card they maybe faulty or the GFX Card maynot be compatible with the motherboard sure u got it in the right Motherboard slot?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Is it plugged in?

Lol, sorry, i watch the IT crowd too much. Anywho, you dont really need to uninstall graphics card to get a new one, just take it out and put the new one in and then install the drivers for the new one. For now, is it possible to connect your monitor to your motherboard and use on board graphics until you've sorted out the new one?

^ listen to this guy....the amount of of gay porn he downloads...hes a pro

ok, i take it you've plugged in the power for the GPU. so thats not the problem, make sure you have the screen connected to the right DVI port
and if that fails... go into bios and make sure you've set your motherboard to desplay on the PCI-E slot and not on your onboard graphics - if you have it

and if that fails... your mo-bo cant handle it xD

graphic card driver dont combine the two different things..

graphic card or graphic driver

now do this...restart your pc and listen to the beep..and tell me how many beep..

Don't ever buy winfast again.

I bought a motherboard from them before, the instructions were in, and only in, Korean. I had a long weekend.

at least they didnt try to make english instructions, my mp3 player is japanese and the instuctions are in engrish.

Ty for all your suggestions. I finally solved the problem. The problem is... Well... To my amazement... lies within the RAM. It is burnt (don't ask me how and why). One of the copper connections turned charcoal (not chemically, I mean the colour).
I am so happy to be back online
Btw, nice pic Dark Shifty. I wish my cat can do that.

Next time be sure to check your pci-e connector (from your power supply to your graphics card) this also belongs in Technical Help..

You solved your problem, next time be sure to check your other components, since you checked your graphics card.. It is most likely to be another component (which is true for this case as well)

Anyways gratz on fixing it..

MP3 player isn't too bad..you have play, stop, next track, etc.

Try finding specific connectors on a motherboard with no instructions of onboard markings.

I had to just guess for my front panel connectors, to give you an idea, this is what it looks like (google):



The connectors plug in randomly, mine isn't standard and it doesn't have any white markings on the board.

It's possible the new graphics drivers are not the right ones for the card, or they are misconfigured. I would say try booting the computer into safe mode. When you first turn on the computer, before the Windows XP (or vista) logo comes up, quickly hit F8 to get a menu where you can select "safe mode".

This should start the computer up with minimal drivers and services. You should then be able to reinstall your graphics driver there, and select an appropriate resolution and other settings.
