Hi
Built another pc over xmas but it isn't detecting the pci-e graphics card.The mobo is a msi GF615M-P33 and the card is a nividea 9800gt.My son has the almost identical computer but his card is a gtx.His computer detected the card straight away.I have tried turning off the onboard graphics and then installing it but no joy,its as if its just not there:(.I also tried another graphics card and that did the same thing.Everything else is fine its just the pci-e that don't work.
Do you think the mobo could be faulty ?
Any advice would be appreciated

does the videocard need extra power from the power supply?

if memory serves it does need additional power, but possibly not if it is a Energy Efficient (EE) model, also this problem is probably not what you are experiencing, but some (all?) motherboards with 1st generation pci-e x16 are not compatible with anything over 2.0 spec x16, i found that out after no luck with a 5xxx series radeon in a 2007 hp pavilion.
can you list the make and model number of the video card?

Its a pny9800gt graphics card,but we have a new problem now which i think has made the mobo kaput.He flashed the bios after reading that it would help and now all he is getting is a black screen even with the onboard graphics.
Its really bugging me and i would like to know if there is any hope for it now or wether i should just get another mobo

Thanks in advance

it's not all bad, some mobos are able to be reflashed, check the manufacturer support site or google for some possible solutions

How do you actually clean the cmos ddp?.Like i say i am not a computer whizz what i know is what i have learnt from this fantastic site. :)

ODIN

ps.Or do you mean clear with the jumpers or battery cos i have already tried that.could i d/l the bios on another computer to say a flash drive and somehow get it to boot from that?...Just a thought ...probably a silly one

Thx Again guys
