' Wrote:ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3

AMD Athlon II X4 640

DDR3 2x2GB 1600MHz Kingston

400W Power supply (don't laugh)

WD Caviar GP: The "Green" 1 TB Drive

ATI Radeon™ HD 5570 Graphics (bought it several months ago for my dual-core Athlon)

For the money I've spent (650 euros), I'm pretty much satisfied with what I've bought (except for power supply unit). So I came home, connected everything, excited like a schoolboy. Turned it on. Everything works fine.... BUT!!!

Motherboard only uses it's integrated graphics!!! When I plug-in my LCD to Radeon 5570 - monitor says "no signal" like there is no graphic card at all. Took 5570 out and plugged it back on my old PC to make sure that graphic card still works - and it worked just fine.

Fan on 5570 is working, but it's like it isn't there. Tried changing few things in BIOS - no result. Win 7 64 also don't recognize it and motherboard is Win 7 ready.

What am I to do? Is there a solution? Anything similar happened to you guys? I hate integrated graphics but this motherboard had some really great reviews on many websites.

Yes, I know my power-supply unit sucks (will change it for 600W when I get enough money) but I double-checked it - ATI Radeon 5570 requires no more than 400W so that's not the issue.

Currently I'm downloading new chipset drivers but something tells me that won't help me. Motherboard is this year's edition, probably nothing much has changed when the drivers are concerned and what could help me. Hope I'm wrong.

Funny thing is when you type "ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 troubleshooting" I get no sites where the word "troubleshooting" appears. Seems like I'm the first who has a problem with it.

Everything was going sooo smoothly but a problem just had to occur. So now my LCD is plugged in do this damn integrated ATI 4290 which really sucks. Any suggestions dudes?

let me dig around the interwubs and get back to you.

Can you list what you did in the BIOS?

Edit: Does your BIOS recognize that the card is present?

Edit da deuce: you might want to post here or call ASUS support. I found one other instance of the PCI slot not working properly, you might need to RTM.

' Wrote:BIOS by default (I've seen it on web) don't show installed graphic card. Simply, I've been searching for a way to disable it, that way hoping that 5570 will simply go online.

' Wrote:As various people have said, it sure sounds like you need to turn off the integrated graphics in the BIOS.

I tend to avoid MB's with integrated graphics if it is at all possible, most integrated graphics are only usefull if you are planning to build what may as well be a glorified word processor that can play a *few* games.

Edit: I'd still get hold of that chipset d/l if I were you...... just in case.
