Help ok. I installed two graphic cards on my new evga nforce 730a motherboard.. running wista 32 bit.. it took me for ever to get the cards to work but both had the same problem.. when i reboot the computer they both dont work. i get a blank screan so i end up switching back to the onboard.. i tried installing a evga 9700gt and evga gts250.
here is my steps.
1. install the card
2.turn comp. on
3.disabled onboard graphics card
4.restart
5.installed drivers.
6.restart
7.get yellow question mark on new graphics card
8.reinstall onboard graphics card
9.switch monitor connections to new graphics card and it works...
10.i restart the comp. and the graphics card does not display anything and im back at step one.
the gts 250 has sli technology. I thought that was the problem with the 9700gt which did not have the sli. Thats why i returned it. i only have one card. and yes the power cable is connected to the card.the gts 250 has sli technology.

well. that is what i did with both cards. install. plug power. plug monitor. but bios did not recognize either.. that's when i started taking the steps i posted. i even tryied it on xp cause i have dual boot. i also turn the cards off in bios. they are still not recognize in boot up.well. that is what i did with both cards. install. plug power. plug monitor. but bios did not recognize either.. that's when i started taking the steps i posted. i even tryied it on xp cause i have dual boot. i also turn the cards off in bios. they are still not recognize in boot up.
have you tried to skip your step3? 3.disabled onboard graphics card
the way i would have done it is simply 1. insert card, connect power. 2. boot up computer with the monitor connected to the new card 3. install driver. be 100% sure you use the correct driver (download it from nvidia.com instead of using a cd.) 4. have fun.
the bios automaticly detect if there is a screen connected to the expansion card and will choose that one by default.
tho, what you can do to be absolutely sure, is to go into bios and disable the onboard vga.

are you running SLI?
have you connected the bridge between the two cards? and is the powercable connected to each of the cards (if needed)?
