Hi again,
Just received an Firepro v4800 from ebay and installed tonight. I also bought a 430w PSU to run the card. I get no video at all to the monitor which has me baffled. I already emailed the ebay seller requesting an RMA #. Just wondering if anyone else on here has an HP Pavilion and runs one of these cards and had any issues. I cannot even get video for POSTING on bootup, so I know that a driver isn't an issue. The crazy thing is that even when the card is plugged in with its fan running, I can take the DVI connector out of the card and plug into the onboard DVI port on the motherboard and all is well. When a PCIe card is inserted, I thought this automatically disables the onboard video controller. Any ideas? I'm looking to stay with a budget card that is better than the onboard junk I got now. I got the v4800 for \$69 shipped used which I thought was a great deal. I wanted to get Realview enabled which the Firepro should have done. Can't afford the Quadro's but I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the Quadros and Firepros are the only card that will allow you to run Realview. Thanks for any help.
