Building My Own PC Part IV

I got Windows Vista installed.
I got World of Warcraft installed.
I did NOT get my GeForce 9600 graphics card installed.

The computer looks like a beast and runs like a champ, but the computer still does not boot up (or at least the monitor doesn't) when I plug in my big daddy graphics card.

In all the tutorials I've watched, this issue is never addressed. I have plugged the monitor into both DVI slots and the integrated VGA slot, with no change.

So for now, it looks like I am going to have to enjoy my system without the extra frame-rate boost.

But when Blizzard Entertainment releases Diablo III (I estimate early-mid 2010), I will need to have figured this problem out.

My guess would be some setting in the BIOS about which video card to use by default.

Either that or a busted vid card. Good luck.
