hi, i recently purchased a Geforce 7800 gs. It is agp 8x/4x compatible and it has 256mb gddr3 memory. I can't figure out the problem. Im positive i meet all the minimum system requirements(including the power supply) and i've installed video cards before. The card also fits in my 8x agp slot. I put the card in and the cpu and video card turn on but the monitor stays black. I have also tried just about everything, including: uninstalling the old drivers, update bios, disable onboard graphics, check to make sure everything is plugged in, connect it to my power supply etc. I am beginning to think my computer isnt compatible in some way. I am looking for a solution, or if the card wont work then what other high end video cards will. By the way i am a gamer.

thanks in advance,
Rainnie
