Bad AIW problem

[y.pasquinelli]

Hi all,
I've just purchased an AIW X1900. It's been working fine until this
morning. Now no signal comes out of the card: even at system boot,
nothing is displayed on my monitor. After some seconds, Windows seems
to be starting, but I see nothing. Even the monitor's OSD doesn't work!
A friend of mine has got another AIW (an older one) and has the same
problem.
I have a P4 3.6, 1Ghz RAM, 550W power supply. The system has been
working fine for about three weeks.

Here's what I tried:
- unplug monitor
- unplug AIW
- reset BOS
- unplug motherboard's power (the little round one, don't know the word
in english)
- boot the system without the AIW and then plugged it in again
- turn system on and wait some time
- try to enter BIOS SETUP at startup

No luck. I've read around in newsgroups of many people having my
problem. They solved it trying a combinations of all the things I
tried, or changing monitor.
I cannot change monitor.. Obviously there is nothing about this problem
on the ATI site.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance
yuri

Try that video card in a other computer. If nothing comes up on the monitor,
the video card is fried.

If so, RMA it for replacement at www.ati.com
