Switched from a agp card to a pci express everything worked fine reinstalled windows. Now won’t detect the card, i installed all the mb drivers, went into bios changed graphy slot to pci express still no luck. Ran dxdiag in cmd shows no card. Reseated it still no luck tried to install graphic drivers it will not because it does not detect the card. Any ideas it is win xp
I have a asrock 939dual-sata2 one of the first to come with both slots. I replaced video card about two months ago and it works great never had a problem with this motherboard. Reinstalled windows to get rid of a bunch of my ex wife’s stuff. Was gaming last night and decided to do this. When I first installed this board it detected it right off the bat. I just figured it was a setting in the bios I need to switch, it has to be something simple. I have done this many times with old graphic card just first time with the pci express. I hope this helps.
Sorry the card is a Geforce 8400.
OK I see by googleing your board it does have both. I am sorry I just have never seen a motherboard with both. As OtheHill said there was only a few. Must have been when PCI-Express first came out. It is all cool now hope you get it working.
Do you get video for the POST screens before Windows starts?
There should be a setting in the BIOS to select what graphics to boot to. That is so the BIOS doesn’t waste time looking. If you find such a setting set it to PCIe.
