6.2.1 Computer does not boot up properly.

Verify that the installation instructions were properly followed. In particular, if
external power is required, make sure that the external power cable (or cables) is
properly connected.
Check that the card is properly installed in your system and connected to your
monitor.
If you have problems during start-up, restart your computer in Safe Mode.
Check the system configuration utility of your operating system for the interrupt
assignments.
Contact AMD's Customer Care or your local technical support.

6.2.2 There is no display.

Make sure the card is seated properly in its slot. If external power is required, make
sure that the external power cable (or cables) is properly connected to the card.
Make sure that the monitor cable is securely fastened to the card.
Make sure that the monitor and computer are plugged in and receiving power.
If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your motherboard. For more
information, consult your computer's manual or manufacturer.
Note:
Some manufacturers do not allow the built-in graphics to be disabled or to
•
become the secondary display.
If your system has built-in graphics capabilities, make sure that you uninstall
•
the associated driver to prevent conflicts with AMD graphics drivers.
Make sure that you selected the appropriate monitor when you installed your
enhanced driver.
Make sure that the display resolution and refresh rate settings you have selected are
supported by the monitor you have connected.

6.2.3 There are screen defects.

Make sure your monitor supports the resolution and horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz)

rate, and color depth settings in the Settings and Monitor tabs in your Display
Properties dialog.
Caution:
Ensure that both the graphics card and monitor support the resolution and refresh
rates you select. Incompatible resolution/refresh rate selection may result in
monitor damage. Refer to your monitor's documentation for recommended
resolutions and refresh rates.
