I posted somethin similar in the Nvidia section, but I have a little suspicion it could be a W7 and not the card's issue.

Basically the card will not display video. When booted the MOBO reverts to the onboard. the fans on the card go 100% from boot and stay that way.

I downloaded the W7 drivers 64bit from nvidia, no help. The card is not in the device manager.

ANY help would be appreciated.

check the jumpers on the board, or since the same thing hppened to me jus 2 days ago except i didnt have any onboard vid, i had to clear the bios

Clear the bios? I did reset the CMOS. Should I take out the battey? Does it mean anything that the fans are going 100%?

Is there an option to completely disable the onboard video in the BIOS? Or, perhaps it's being told to try the onboard graphics first... Hrmm. I'm stretching my limits, but I want to see if I can help and learn at the same time.

No but I can do it in the device manager. When that is done it switches to a screen with resolutions similar to the bios.

Just the fans on the card itself are running at 100% right?

I remember that happened once with my 8600GTS. Basically the card wasn't seated correctly. Check that, also make sure you have the power connectors on the card securely in their place.

I would also recommend dropping this into another computer just to make sure there isn't a problem with the card itself.
