    Had a quick look - you do have a x16 graphic slot

    Try removing that Asus HDMI adapter card - see if everything kicks in, coz 220 cards seem to all have an HDMI vid/sound interface built in and you prob can't have both running at same time due to clashes!

    Just a thought!

    If it's a PCIx16 card, and it fits into a motherboard slot perfectly, then you do have PCIx16. Those cards will only fit into a slot designed for PCIx16. If you already have the onboard GFX chip disabled, and the BIOS won't detect the card, then you got a bad card, and need to RMA it.

    there is no way to make it work though even though it is a X16 slot fan spins on in but there is no detection there used to be an asus HDMI thing in the slot first that i took out and there is no way to disable onboard GPU as lowest i can set is 64KB mem used

    On my ASUS motherboard the BIOS option for setting the RAM reserved for the onboard disappeared when I got my 220GT working. That was one of the first things i noticed when i finally got a working Video card. I think I would return or exchange the card at this point.

    Why can't you test the card in your pc. At least as far as loading VGA basic driver?

    anyway >>>>>>
    I just bought an EVGA Nvidia 9800GT and am trying to install it but I am running into some problems. The mobo comes with onboard video, which I have disabled in the bios and have set "PCIeX" as the primary display driver.
    You also have to adjust an "HDMi setting" in the bios according to another!(poss in "JumperFree Configuration")

    Are you looking in brother's asus manual?

    Reset 'cmos' with new graphic card installed only - see if it reconfigures properly!?

    I suspected that you needed to update the BIOS, but that's the very last thing I'll suggest. Glad to see you got the GFX card working.
