Muffin15 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 hello all today i received the last parts for my new computer, one which i hope to make a hackintosh my graphics card is the radeon HD 4870 1Gb Toxic ed. (OC'd) and judging from posts on the forums i should be albe to get it to work i put everything together in about an hour, connecting my card to a gigabyte GA P35-DS3L motherboard the computer turns on and i've made sure that it's powered directly from the PSU when i connect it to my monitor, there is simply a black screen disconnecting it from the card gives the screen's splash screen i also tried installing my dad's e-GeForce 9800 GT card, already working in his own hackintosh, but got the same result after trying his card with no luck, im fairly certain the cards are not the problem this is my first computer build and so i'm not exactly sure as to what would prevent a video card from working possibly the motherboard is bad? thanks for any help/ideas -Muffin EDIT: teh card is definitely not the problem, as i just swapped it into my dad's setup he's running an ASUS EP45-DS3L motherboard the computer actually booted to the desktop with no problems at all, though there's obviously resolution constraints and all those issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
