Appendix: Basic troubleshooting

If you encounter any of the following scenarios after installing your graphics card, try performing one of the possible solutions before calling for technical support.

Problem No display after the card is installed

Cause Your card might not be properly installed. Solution Make sure that the card is not tilted or skewed on the slot.

Cause Your monitor might not be properly connected. Solution Make sure that the signal cable is properly connected to your monitor and graphics card.

Cause Your graphics card is not supported by your motherboard. Solution Check the technical documentation that came with your motherboard and check the required specifications for your graphics card (e.g. AGP voltage requirement).

Cause The graphics card's auxiliary power is not connected. Solution Make sure that the auxiliary power cables are properly connected with the power supply unit.

Cause Insufficient power supply. Solution Make sure that your power supply unit can provide the minimum power requirement to your system.

Cause Incorrect motherboard hardware system settings (e.g. system control panel connections). Solutions • Make sure that the system control panel cables are connected properly (e.g. power switch, reset). • Make sure that your CPU, CPU fan and/or memory DIMMs are in good working condition and are connected properly.

Problem Wrong color balance

Cause Your card might not be properly installed. Solution Make sure that the card is not tilted or skewed on the slot.

Cause Your video controls might not be properly set. Solution • Manually configure your video controls to your desired settings. • Configure your graphics card display resolution in Dis-play properties.

Cause There may be unsupported graphics card drivers installed in your system. Conflicts may occur with graphics card drivers from different vendors. Solution • Remove any unused graphics card drivers installed on your system. • Install the graphics card driver from the support CD that came with your graphics card package.

Cause The graphics card's auxiliary power is not connected. Solution Make sure that the auxiliary power cables are properly connected to the power supply unit.

Cause If your monitor comes with BNC connectors, the port con-nections may be incorrect. Solution Make sure that all BNC connectors are connected properly to its corresponding port.

Cause Your monitor software settings might be incorrect. Solution Configure your monitor to supported display settings.

Cause Your monitor might not be properly connected. Solution Make sure that the signal cable is properly connected to your monitor and graphics card.

Problem The screen image is garbled

Cause Your monitor cannot support the selected display setting. Solution Make sure that your monitor can support your desired display setting. Refer to the technical documentation that came with your monitor.

Cause Your graphics card cannot support the desired system setting. Solution Make sure that your graphics card can support your desired display setting. See the specifications table that came with this graphics card package.

Cause Some graphics driver files might be corrupt. Solution Remove your current graphics drivers and reinstall the graphics drivers from the support CD.

Cause Poor heat dissipation inside the chassis. Solution Make sure that the chassis fan, CPU, and heatsink with fan, and/or the graphics card GPU fan are working properly.

Cause GPU or VGA memory overclocked beyond optimal working conditions. Solutions Restore default frequency settings of GPU and VGA memory.

Other problems that you might encounter can be related to other parts or accessories (e.g., motherboard, power supply unit, LCD/CRT) of your system.
