PCs screen won't show

[silverwolf0]

My current rig is an Antec P150 with included 430wat psu with an EVGA 7600GT card and a K8NGM2-FID motherboard. When I turn the computer on, instead of the BIOS bootup screen telling me my computer stats and BIOS info, my LCD screen stays blank and the power button on the LCD blinks. However, once it starts loading Windows, the Windows bootup screen with the moving bar shows up on the LCD, but with some funky stripes. After a few seconds the screen will go blank again.

I initially thought it was a video card error so I removed the 7600GT from its slot and connected the monitor via the onboard DVI port of the motherboard. Nothing happens, and it doesn’t even show the striped windows logo at all. Is there a setting in the BIOS which I have to change for it to revert back to the onboard video? Shouldn't removing the video card reset it?

What could be the issue?

It should automatically detect that there is no discrete vidcard and default to onboard graphics, but the world isn't perfect, and neither is that board/BIOS. So, look for the BIOS setting to enable it. Do you have another vidcard you could try?
