    Black Screen of DEATH!

    Just got a motherboard replaced since the computer wouldn't boot with the video card in the primary, X16 PCIe slot. Also, had the video car replaced because it was artifacting.

    Test Bad Motherboard?

    Managed to get Asus to RMA my motherboard for me. I'm still running into issues with Black Screen at startup, but that's for another post.

    Old [HD 4850] Card in newer PC

    Found out the PCIE slot is bad, moved it to the secondary slot and it works perfectly fine. Received my original 7950 back from RMA. Now I gotta RMA another part, just my luck. At least this time it's with Asus, I hear their customer service is exceptional

    Video Card Install No Boot

    Alrighty, figured it out. The PCIE port is dead. I moved the card to the second slot and it's working now. Only problem is, the DisplayPort doesn't work, that must be the video card though, right? Any way to test? Windows isn't detecting anything plugged into the display port. Only...
