sound and video problem

Ihave a system running 98 4mb video works great but when i install sound card no video at all shows up on monitor jusy different color lines any help on this ,what is going wrong

You could have bumped teh vid card check to see if it is seated correctly.

I think you have an irq conflict, before we go any further will it start in safe mode?

Can you also post your video card, sound card amd motherboard details?

i`ll get the details and i`ll try safemode thanks

Simple test.. does the video card still act up if you remove the sound card.. If the card still acts up, it's a vid only issue. if it clears up, look into your snd card.

You need to determine what is causing the problem.

the sound card is brand new

By the way it sounds, it sounds like your pushing your video card to far. Double check to make sure everything is in tight, and that your two cards don't have a history of incompatability problems.

My video card(4mb AOpen) works fine when the sound card( Vortex Advantage) is not there , It does go into safe mode after I have to manually restart when it will not load the vertical lines appear at the bottom of the screen.Asus tx97-e motherboard.

does the board happen to be an aopen pt75? i used to have that board with a biostar tx based board, and with that video card i couldn't use a pci MPEG decoder card or a PCI sound card... there might be a compatibility issue.

Is the video card AGP or PCI? If its PCI make sure its in the top slot.
