Is it the BIOS setting that makes the computer ignore the 7750 card? Test this by connecting the computer to the monitor without using the 7750 card and rebooting - do you see the boot up process? Even if you don't, the solution would be to get into the BIOS settings any way possible, perhaps even removing the 7750 card and rebooting. Another test would be to connect the 7750 card to the monitor using the VGA connection on the monitor, either by using the VGA port on the 7750 card or a DVI-VGA adapter.Ģ.
#HP DC9700 DUAL MONITOR BIOS MANUAL#
Verify whether the monitor is set to manual source (e.g., stuck on VGA) or automatic (possibly still stuck on VGA and ignoring DVI). Is it the monitor? - Perhaps the monitor is set to only consider the VGA port, since it was initially used that way. If you guys don't think it's damaged, then is there a simpler way you suggest to proceed with #2 than moving the CMOS jumper cables and removing the BIOS battery? Is there no way to reset BIOS from Setup?ġ. In either unit, if I remove the graphics card, the display works. Is it possible I damaged the video card removing it from the first unit the first time? I didn't pay special attention to grounding, but I was constantly touching the metal of the tower, so I doubt I shocked the card. Since that was the case, I thought it would be a good idea to re-insert the graphics card into the 1st unit to be certain that the video card was operational, and therefore narrow my likely cause in the 2nd unit to a faulty PCIe or a BIOS problem.Īfter re-inserting the graphics card into the first unit I no longer get a signal in that unit either. I had inserted it into the 2nd unit only AFTER I had installed XP. But I reasoned that also initially I had inserted the graphics card in the first unit BEFORE restoring XP. The PCIe Slot or graphics card is damaged.Ĭlick to expand.As for #1, I didn't think it was possible for the graphics card to be damaged since it's brand new and initially I got a display signal while it was inserted in the first unit.
In that thread there are two major responses identifying the problem/solution: I Googled trying to figure out the problem, and I found this thread from Tom's Hardware: The problem is that the monitor says, "No signal." I get no display. So I removed the video card and sound card from the first unit and put them in this 2nd unit with the faster CPU. Once I finished installing XP on that unit, I checked its system specs.
My friend got one of these units, too, and his had a faster Q9400. Once XP was installed, I checked system specs, and saw that the CPU was an Intel E8400. Everything worked even with the graphics card inserted the display was receiving a signal that allowed me to interface with the computer.

I then hooked up my brand new monitor to the computer (not the graphics card) via VGA in order to install the Service Pack.
When my brand new Radeon 7750 arrived, I inserted it into the PCIe 2.3 x 16 slot in the first unit before doing anything else.

He also gave me two disks for an OS restore/install of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Okay, so I have two separate HP dc7900 Convertible Minitowers that an IT friend gave me that his company was e-wasting. It automatically went to sleep and didn't wake easily when the "input" button was hit to bring up the input menu and change the setting. It was an input issue with the monitor I needed to switch the input to DVI from VGA.
