[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1406585, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info.:) Looking at post #1...where you mentioned that you get no video on your monitor (and the monitor is confirmed working when used with your laptop)...it would seem to be the video card. But then you mentioned this: ...which is very confusing: You mentioned that you tried a "Mac-friendly" card...and the card started up just fine. What does this mean..."the card started up just fine". Unless you're getting something displayed on the monitor...the card isn't starting up just fine. I'm also a bit unsure how many video cards you've tested. Are we talking video card #1 (the one that came with the computer)...and video card #2 (this "Mac-Friendly" video card)? It would probably be good to know the details on card #2...because maybe it is not "Mac-Friendly"...or Mac Pro friendly. The bottom line is...you should get some sort of output on your display...even if it's just a grey screen (I'm assuming from what is written that you're getting absolutely nothing...blank/black display). Absolutely nothing on the display usually would mean a video card issue...and a more worst case scenario...a bad logic board. - Nick [/QUOTE]
