Troubleshooting: DVI Adapter Card

DVI Adapter Card Installation and Setup Guide

1. If the computer detects the card and lists it in the Device Manager, ensure that the advanced graphics setting and options on the Intel® Graphics Technology Control Panel are set correctly for the video configuration that you want.

   See Driver Interface Instructions.
   
   

2. Verify proper connection between the monitor video cable and the DVI card port.
   
   
3. Attach a CRT monitor to the VGA connection to ensure that the system is producing a video signal using the integrated controller.
   
   
4. If you can establish a video signal through either port, check for the Intel AIM 3.0 Codec entry in the Device Manager to ensure that the operating system properly detected the card.
   
   
5. If the monitor is capable of both VGA and DVI input, ensure that the input selector on the monitor is set correctly.
   
   
6. If the card is not properly detected, reseat the DVI card in the AGP slot to ensure a good connection.

   See Installation Instructions.
   
   

7. If available, test the DVI card by installing the card into a same-model system with a properly working AGP slot. 
   
   
8. If available, place a properly working DVI card or AGP expansion video card in the computer to test the AGP slot.
