Hi, I just built my computer and i'm trying to install my video card. My motherboard has an onboard video card so I had to disable it in the bios. On the manufacturer's website, it told me to go into the BIOS and change a setting. Here's the link..

I followed those instructions, now my monitor isn't displaying ANYTHING when I boot it up, so I have no way of getting into the BIOS and changing it back!! What the hell am I supposed to do now!!??!!

On my MOBO, there is a 'BIOS TBL Jumper' and a 'Clear CMOS jumper'. I don't want to mess with these because I don't have a clue what they do..

What should I do?! Please help!!

Use the instructions in your manual to use the Clear CMOS jumper to restore your bios to factory defaults. Then try the new vid card without any disabling of the onboard. As your link states, you may NOT need to disable the onboard. The bios may also have a setting for which video gets priority. Make sure the vid card is first.

Thanks Panama, I got it running again. I'm not sure which video card is being used. The monitor is plugged into the motherboard. When I plug the monitor into the video card, the monitor isn't getting a signal. In my BIOS, the PCIex is set to the default.

Should I be getting output when the monitor is plugged into the vid card?

Yes, the card should give you an output. Slot the card, using the onboard video get into the bios, do what the link says, save and exit, and connect the monitor to the card.
