[oscar99]

Please someone I am dieing here.
After saving up and finaly building my own PC. It does not work :-(
I've Double checked the connections. It Powers up, but nothing on the screen...
Is my Pace video card dead?
it's brand new?
I am not 100% on the SW1 switch setting. or the SW2 Setting.
My TMC TI5VG+ MVP3 ATX has a Cyrix 6x86 P150 +GP 120Mhz 3.3v or 3.52v in it. I've just got the floppy and unformated HD connected.
It has a Pace 3D Edge pluged in and 128MB(16Mx64) SDRAM PC100 in Dimm Socket 1. I have not put my soundcard or modem in yet. The power comes on, the fan spins, the HD makes it's noise. But nothing comes on screen.
The SW1 CPU Frequency Selector setting
I have are
1,2,3,5 are on (60Mhz Clock 2x Mutilpier)
4,6,7,8 are off
The JP1: DRAM Operating Frequency setting
I have are
pin 1-2 short (Run CPU Clock)
The SW2 setting
I have are
1,2,3,4 are on (Vio 3.5v Vcore 3.5v)
Have I got these right?
could my Pace 3D Edge be dead?

I think I replyed to this in the cyrix section. Yes I think you video card is dead. If it wasn't something would come to the screen showing the cpu and such in start-up even if windows wasn't installed yet. With nothing and a unformated hard drive it would say something like no hard disk found.

It's not the cpu since it does respond to the hard drive.

My suggestion go to a computer show and buy a video card for $20. When I built my computer that was all I had left. I got a virge S3 2D/3D card, ok not a voodoo 3, but it has worked fine for 4 months now. I play quake and unreal fine on it too.

That's my suggestion. If you buy it and it doesn't work email me and I'll try to give you some more ideas.

Think about it, but not to hard don't want to give you a headache.
