    GeForce 6600 LE 256mb

    Okay, bought this card ages ago to replace an ATI Radeon 9200se, and it was working BRILLIANTLY until now. Basically, I start up my PC with my monitor connected to the port on the back of the PC belonging to the GeForce 6600, and the monitor says "No input signal", then turns off.

    However..

    If I plug the monitor into the default socket (I.e: Not on the Graphics card), then it boots up fine .

    I checked the System option in Control Panel to see if the graphics card was there, and it wasn't showing up. So I figured it was loose/didn't have a power supply or something. So I checked.

    No problems there, it's in the correct slot (AGP), and has a power supply. I know the power supply isn't an issue, otherwise it wouldn't have worked until this point.

    I wouldn't mind this problem so much had it not been for the fact I:
    1. Spent £80 on the card
    2. Can't play BF2 with a 64.0mb graphics adapter


    Any suggestions guys? By the way, I tried Start > Accessories > System restore back to when the card was working - no luck.

      Surely this shouldn't be a problem if it has been working fine until now?

          make sure your old Radeon drivers are uninstalled and that you have used driver cleaner afterwards.

          Try the graphics card in another pc to see if the card of faulty

            He's right, you could have old drivers left behind from your ATI card, with you using a Nvidia it could cause malfunctions with the drivers, because of left over files and settings on Windows.
