This is my third 8800GT, all have had problems. So the problem with the 8800GT seems to be that it just can't display the initial start up and login screens.

Windows starts on both screens, all work fine. The 5770 monitor displays the login screen. The monitor with the 880GT is a black screen (however I can see the mouse cursor). Booting into Windows through parallels 6 works fine with the 8800GTģ. In windows (using the 5770 card) both cards are displayed in device manager -ATI 5770 and Nvidia 9800GT - (The card is a 8800gt, but essentially the same card as a 9800)Ģ.

(It was not possible to install windows using this 8800GT.) One chime? Which if I remember correctly is different to the old days which required three for zapping.I had a similar Problem on a 2008 Mac Proīooting to windows 7 on Bootcamp with a 8800GT - boots into a black screen. It's either that or my PCIe assembly is the problem.or something else I haven't thought of.īTW, I've tried zapped the PRAM. Looking online I see that there are issues with this model of card, but I can't see anything specific to my machine. Further-more, the issues occur even if the NEC is switched off.Īdmittedly, I have not tried re-attaching the CRT yet. There is a part of me that wondered if this monitor might be the problem, but I don't see how as when it receives no signal it's telling me that, so surely it's not interacting with the card? The power management issue is a self-contained one, which just meant that I had to manually turn the display off, rather than depending on it going to sleep. The NEC was a cheap eBay find which I discovered has a power management issue, in that I could sent the 'puter to sleep but the NEC would stay warm with the screen faintly glowing, even tho' it told me that it was receiving no signal. I bought the NEC to replace the CRT behemoth, and the problems have started since then. I'll add that when I first had the machine I ran it to a LaCie Electron22Blue CRT with the LaCie 320 and everything was fine. All that achieved was a better seated processor tray. I've even tried reseating the processor tray, wildly-supposing there might be an issue there. I've tried swapping the power cable to pcie aux b for both slots just in case aux a might've been failing, but to no avail.

The next way-in, I've found, was to swap the card to a different PCIe slot. The same problems have occurred, so my original card is not "faulty" per se. I blamed the issue on the card and the vendor kindly sent me a replacement card.of the same model. I am then in effect locked out of use of the machine. I found that I could prompt life to the displays by swapping round the DVI connectors, but as soon as I had to start-up, reboot, or wake the machine up from sleep it would be back to no signal again, and repeating the swap technique would then not help. The Apple chime sounds, and the machine whirrs happily away, booting up nicely, but no signal to the displays. In the last couple of weeks the machine has refused to send a signal to my monitors, an NEC Multisync lcd2090uxi and its rebranded kin, a LaCie 320. It came with 8GB of ram, which I upgraded to 16GB. I partitioned the drive and installed this Jan version of El Capitan in one partition, and Mountain Lion in the other, as this is where I have best access to my software, and this is my main boot. It came with a non-Apple GeForce 8800GT installed, and so it always booted with a black screen until the login interface came up.

I bought this 4,1 2.66Ghz quad-core machine earlier this year, and everything seemed fine for a while.
