VGA /AGP / PCI express cards



Problem



Unable to display more than 16 colours.



Remedy



  1. Check whether the card can support more than 16 colours.


  2. Check whether the driver for the display card is installed.


  3. Check in the display properties (of Windows), settings for the VGA card.


  4. Change the settings to display 16 bit colours or 32 bit colours if the card supports the feature.


  5. Now the VGA card can support more than 16 colours.




Problem



Unable to install an AGP card.

 

Remedy



  1. Check whether the motherboard has an AGP Slot.


  2. If there is an AGP slot, check on the motherboard if there is any indication that it is disabled.


  3. If the motherboard manufacturer allows the usage, enable the AGP slot.


  4. Find the appropriate AGP card. (1X /2X cards cannot be installed in a 4X/8X slot).


  5. Now the AGP card can be installed.


  6. Install the AGP card driver and configure the display settings.


Problem



A new PCI express display card is installed in the PCI express VGA slot. There is no display. However, only one single beep indicates that the booting is fine.

Remedy



  1. Check whether the monitor is connected to the correct VGA port.


  2. Some motherboards may have built-in VGA/AGP/PCI VGA connectors.


  3. If the monitor is still connected to the old port, detach and connect the monitor cable to the newly installed PCI Express VGA port.


  4. Switch on the computer and check the display.


  5. Use the PCI express card driver CD, to install the display driver to achieve the best display performance
