Solution

Recommendation

Code

 

1Verify that the monitor cable is attached to the connector on the back of the graphics card.

2The G740A/G740B Graphics Accelerator display driver may be trying to use settings your monitor doesn’t support. This could happen if a monitor was never selected in the software and you changed your display resolution to one your monitor doesn’t support, or if you changed the monitor connected to your computer without changing it in the software.

3Some computers may not properly detect the addition or change of an internal PCI card. On start-up, a computer may beep differently from normal to indicate this error. Reset your computer’s CMOS. This is usually done through a switch or jumper on the motherboard of your computer. Check your system manual or contact your computer vendor for instructions on how to do this.
