Hey All - I swapped out my 7800GTX for a 1300 Pro in one of my rigs, as I felt that the 7800gtx was failing. I uninstalled the 7800gtx, driver cleaned the nvidia drivers out of there, and installed the 1300pro. However, when I went to reboot, I get a blank screen? I am using a Dell 2100FP, and the signal light looks like it is getting something, as it is not switching to the sleep mode signal.

Thoughts?
 
has the 1300 been tested previously elseware? Can you pu thte 7800 in and post fine still? May be a bad card, or maybe you didnt hook up a secondary power connector to it or something.
 
Can't be drivers - you would get a signal during bootup, regardless.

Make double sure the x1300 works on another computer, if you can. Just pop the card in and see if you get a signal, no need to boot all the way into windows or install drivers.
 
Somthin Similar happend to my 6800gt, no post screen or windows screen, but monitor light stayed on, indicating some kind of signal. I swaped out for a 7800 and that solved my problem, the 1300 could be bad
 
2001 fp monitors have auto detect issues. boot the system right away and tap the input select button and cycle it back to vga or dvi (whichever your using) if on dvi tap until back to dvi. Unplug any usb devices attached to the monitor and/pc just for testing purposes.
 
I think the 1300 is trying to stop you from doing whatever it is you are doing.

Your sig says 2 7800gtx in sli, but you say that a single 7800gtx is failing (take both out first).
