I unplugged my video card to install a wireless card, then reinstalled the video card, and now my monitor will not come out of analog power saving mode. Any ideas about what I may have done wrong? Thanks!

What kind of video card? AGP? Did you install the wireless card in the slot just below the video card?

Yes, the video card is AGP, and yes, I installed the wireless card in the PCI slot right below it. Thanks for replying! :)

Well, the video card is perfectly seated in the AGP slot. I removed the wireless card, but the monitor still will not come out of power saving mode. hmmmmm

make sure the monitor is plugged in at all parts expecially where it goes into the agp card, i have a problem w/ my case b/c the vga out is so close to the side of the case i just have to force it on and i cant tighten the screws, try the other output if theres more then 1

Thanks everyone for your help! I guess I'll just try again to see if the card is situated properly. :(

I can safetly say once i pulled out my AGP graphics card and repluged it i kept getting No Signal Input. GOing to Power Save Mode ...

To solve return it if it is covered under warranty, it solved my problem

ex. ATI has great service/repair

I am confident you fried your card, if u are sure it is seated properly and no display appears and ur onboard intel/misc one works with ur agp one removed

Thanks for the advice, but actually, I just happened to try turning on the pc again, and it powered up just fine. *shrug*
If it acts up again, I'll definitely contact ATI.
