how to check my pcie slot working or not. When i inserted nvidia Gforce 9500gt it is not detecting my mother board (Asus M2N VM HDMI http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2NVM_HDMI/) but graphics cards fan is working. then how can i identifies the slot is faulty or not. Is their any changes to be done in the bios. Please help me. My processor is AMD Phenom 9550 and 3Gb DDR2 ram is inserted.

have you tried plugging in your monitor to both the onboard and gfx card? have you checked the power requirements?(ive had that happen)

off of experience, when i first got this pc i only had a 20 pin 300W psu, i needed a 24 pin 450W psu... with the 300watt one it would start up all the fans but nothing would happen, so just some suggestions

Ya, I tried plugging in both the motherboard and gfx out. But the onbord only working. The gforce 9500gt does not require any external power.

the 9500 is PCIe 2.0, and maybe you have 1.0.. that would do it
