18 Matrox Graphics Card – Installation Guide

Cause The BIOS of your Matrox graphics card may need to be updated or restored.

Solution For advanced users: If you have another VGA-compatible graphics card (ISA or

PCI), you can try resetting the BIOS of your Matrox graphics card.

1 Turn off your computer and insert the other graphics card into an expansion

slot. For more information on expansion slots, see “Choose an expansion slot”,

page 5.

2 Plug your monitor into the other graphics card and restart your computer.

3 Make sure Matrox DOS utilities are installed on your computer. (These can be

installed from your Matrox CD-ROM.)

4 Restart your computer in DOS mode, then type:

cd c:\mga\setup [Enter]

updbios [Enter]

5 Turn off your computer, remove the other graphics card, then plug your monitor

into your Matrox graphics card.

6 Restart your computer.

Problem Wrong color balance, screen image off-center, or no picture at all

Cause

Your monitor’s video controls may be improperly set.

Solution Adjust your monitor’s controls (brightness, contrast and so on). For more

information, see your monitor manual.

Cause Your monitor may not be properly connected.

Solution Make sure the monitor’s power cable is firmly in place.

Note: If you’re using more than one PCI graphics card, make sure your

computer uses the other graphics card for your primary display – the one

that first displays information when you restart your computer. If not, turn

off your computer, move the other card to another PCI slot, then try

restarting your computer again.

Note: If your Matrox graphics card has TV output support for DOS display

modes, or has flat panel support, you may have to restore this support after you

use updbios. For more information, see the readme file in the root folder of your

Matrox installation CD-ROM.
