Make sure that there are no other graphics cards or onboard graphics chips in your system. If possible, boot up in Safe Mode and then remove and reinstall the Detonator drivers.
Make sure that you have the latest motherboard drivers and BIOS. These can be obtained from your motherboard manufacturer.
Make sure that the AGP slot conforms to the AGP 2.0 specification, especially in terms of power coming through the AGP slot. Check with your motherboard manufacturer.
Disable sidebanding.
Are you overclocking either the Graphics Card or CPU? If you are, try resetting them back to their normal value, if it fixes the problem, you may need more cooling in your system.
Have you got an IRQ conflict with Graphics Card and another card in your system? The only device that can have the same IRQ is the 'IRQ Holder for PCI Steering'. If so, try assigning a different IRQ to that slot in the BIOS.

Read the user's manual

Many troubleshooting questions can be answered by the User Manual, which has been written specifically with the end-user in mind. If you have not got your manual, you may be able to download it from the Reseller, System Builder, or Add-In Card Manufacturer website. Contact your Reseller, System Builder, or Add-In Card Manufacturer for any additional information.


Blank Screen at Boot-up

Make sure your monitor cable is firmly connected to the card. A blank screen at boot-up is an indication that the system has not properly recognised the card (usually accompanied by 1 long and 2 short beeps). To resolve the problem, 1st make sure the card is fully seated in the slot and, 2nd check that your system meets the product system requirements.

Corrupt Screen at Boot-up

Make sure your monitor cable is firmly connected to the card.
Make sure the card is properly recognised by the system.
Make sure you have removed all the old graphics card drivers.
Make sure you have the correct monitor drivers.
Check the screen resolution and refresh-rate.
If the corrupt screen appears at boot-up before Windows loads, check the following BIOS settings: (try enabling/disabling these as indicated - some options may not be available on your system BIOS – refer to the system manual for more information).
