My friend just upgraded his video card, from a 7900gt to a 9800gtx+. He has a 550watt psu with 32amps on the rail so the psu is not the problem. The motherboard is a XFX 630i, mobo with the onboard video disabled. Now the 7900gt works perfectly fine, while when he puts in the 9800gtx+ he just bought does not work. The fan spins but the monitor recieves no display. Its not the card because he had a BFG one that did the same thing so he returned it to get the xfx card and it does the same thing. His monitor is a vga monitor so he is using the vga to dvi adapter on the end to plug into the card.

Anyone know why he does not get signal?
 
Did you try both dvi output from the vid card, and did you try and restart to see if you can see the bios screen, window start up screen. If you can see those after a restart then its a driver or setting issue.
