So I went through an RMA process on my BFG 6800 OC AGP and got one that would not boot up or anything. So they sent me another one that they said was "Tested" working and I put it in my system, the computer posts and beeps like its working and I can go into Bios but after that I get a no signal on the monitor. When I pop in my old 9600XT everything boots up fine, I'm wondering if it's another bad card or is there some hardware incompatibility?

Specs: Intel 6400 2.13gig Core 2 Duo
Motherboard: ECS P4M800Pro-M
Video Card: BFG 6800 OC AGP
PSU: Coolermaster 500Watt
2 IDE HD, 1 cd drive, 1 floppy, 1 120mm fan.

I don't think this is a power issue because of the 500watt psu.
 
to be absolutely sure, u have to test that vid card in another PC. Update your mobo BIOS too.
 
Well I figured it out, tested it in another PC with a VGA connector and everything booted up fine. In my main system I was using DVI, so I switched to VGA and it seems to work fine, I guess it just has a bad DVI connector.
