Just got my 256MB 8800GT.

Plugged it in and fired her up. The fan must be going at 100% and I have no output on monitor.

Soooo sad :( I have been waiting hours for this.

Any ideas?
 
SHE LIVES! I just put her in my Celeron 420 rig and it worked right away.

WTF? Don't tell me my TF7050 won't accept my new 8800GT :(

EDIT: Just put it back into my TF7050....still no post. Fan just runs full speed and thats it. I don't understand :(

Does it have another PCIe slot to try?

Its not an SLI motherboard.

As I said, the graphics card works fine in my GA-P35-DS3L, but it won't post in my Biostar TF7050-M2. I don't understand why it wont. I've never heard of compatibility issues from motherboards to graphics cards :mad:
 
I wonder if its a PCIx version problem? Maybe it doesnt support 2.0?

You running current bios on it?

Oh, it happens. Had me a 6800 agp that would not work in a K8N-E with the DVI out put, but in a Abit board I had (think kV8pro) it worked fine.
 
It's your Biostar mobo. There are a number of threads on the net about the Biostar mobo's not being PCIe 2.0 compatible. Rumor has it that they are working on a bios update.
