Nividia geforce no display at all!?!

[dagerousdave]

After trying to overclock my graphics card using using nvidia's own system utlility software, i now have no display at all on my monitor.

At first, after applying the changes it just froze. When i rebooted, i had no display. I can reset the cmos by taking out the battery. this allows me to enter the bios and system utility, but i am lost after that.

Can anyone give me any advice. I would be exteremely grateful for a solution.

Just please don't tell me that i have ruined the card.

Well, I can tell you- you have voided the warranty.

But tell me this- Nvidia has a bios level system utility for their cards? Or do you have an Nvidia Motherboard that has a utility in the bios? I've never used an Nvidia board. Or are you hoping to restore function to your card by bios defaults?

Hello, thanx for the reply.

Well, i have an nvidia motherboard aswell as agp. Tried resetting bios defaults but that didn't work. It has its own system utility called gigabyte. but i haven't explored that yet. i was waiting for some advice first.

Do u know of any fixes?

Can you get a display when starting in Safe Mode ?

AH, sounds like you have a Gigabyte vid card with a Nvidia chip. Gigabyte includes overclocking utilities w/ their main boards too- didn't think there were any bios embedded utilities.
If you can't get display in safe mode then.........
I've got a 256mb XFX Geforce 5600 sitting on my shelf i don;t use anymore!
