hi folks i am trying to connect my pc(HP 5208uk) to my avr(onkyo 609). I had this connected no problem VGA to VGA. The problem is I have just installed a new video card in my PC (Gainward 1gb pci express) Now when I try to connect it to my onkyo again VGA to VGA I recieve no signal. I am awaiting a 5m HDMI to HDMI cable arriving which I will be using soon but hope it will connect as right now I am getting nothing VGA to VGA. is there something I am doing wrong or havengt done? just find it very weird as it was connecting fine using my old video card. any help would be appreciated

Is that graphiccard VGA not working?If yes,then you have to select PCI graphic as primary boot in MB bios.
Secondly if you have also connected monitor to GC,then you need to config video out in control panal of graphic drivers.

yes thats right graphics vga to my vga on my onko 609 is giving no signal. DVI to PC monitor is working fine. How do I set pci graphics as primary boot in MB bios and I cant seem to find anything about drivers in the graphic card control panel to config video out?? whats anoying is that it was working fine on my old card?

Is this card ATI or nvidia?You can open control panal & check for the video out setting.Even try setting multiple display(clone).
Its nvidia and ive tried mutiple display, extended display, single display but nothing. Ive tried draging single and extened displays but still nothing. I still cant see any video out settings in the nvidia control panel
Did you try to disable Video card which installed on motherboards --default should be connected PCI VGA card ...

Now the resolution has to be adjusted.First try clone with low resolution & then config as video extension.Lastly dont connect monitor & only Onkyo,it should work.
hope problem solved now ...
tried everything here guys and nothing seems to work, Im going to wait until my HDMI cable arrives hopefully tomorrow, and run it that way and hopefully it should work
ok then wait for HDMI cable ... Hi folks Ive connected my PC to my avr using HDMI to HDMI and finally getting a picture. The problem Im faced with now is I have no sound? I have connected via pc optical to avr optical and set the settings on the avr. still no sound. Is there something I should be setting on the pc or is there anything else I need to do to get sound? Thanks
got sound now folks, played about with the sound in control panel from speakers to digital. Very happy now at long last lol
I think you need a internal spdif cable for HDMI audio. GTS 250 doesn't transport audio over hdmi without that. Else, you can connect the optical to your avr and hdmi to your display (TV, projector etc).
