Ok I recently bought a Radeon 9100 pci card from Tiger Direct and I put it into a computer and it wouldnt display anything (I previously had a PCI video card in there so the bios was set up for a PCI video card). My first thoughts were the power supply so I exchanged it with a 300W and it still did the same thing. So I put the old video card back in so I could access the bios and I checked all the settings and they were all set up how Im pretty sure they should be set up. I have two more computers in my house, one of them did the exact same thing when I put in the video card (wouldnt acces bios or anything). I installed it in my new computer along with my 9700 so I could see if I could get anything. The computer started up normaly and when I got into windows it saw that there was another video card installed. So I plugged my monitor into it and I got it to work after going back in forth between my control panel and both my video cards. So after this I thought hey maybe if I put my old video card in with my 9100 I could see if I could get anything (I only had the two cards in together to see if the bios would even start up). So I tried this and it does nothing. The screen stays blank no matter what I do. So now Im really confused on why it wont work. I never ran any tests to see how well it worked on my good computer but I know it gives off a picture at least. So if you have any ideas please help me. Thanks.
