All of that is true, except mine has a 500w Rosewill power supply and 1024 megs of ram.
I recently ordered a HIS Radeon HD 2600 Pro (AGP version), and when I put it in, the computer will not boot windows. What happens is all the fans go on and are working, the two lights (Power and Working) on the front of the computer stay solid and there is no image sent to the monitor.
1. I have made sure that the video card is properly seated in its place.
2. I have tried disabling the onboard video through device manager (its impossible to do through BIOS as the only two options are “AGP/ONBOARD” and “PCI”.
3. The power dongle for the card is properly connected.
I really have no idea what to do now. I’ve completely uninstalled all the old drivers and have tried every logical thing since.
The card requires a 480 watt PSU..mine is 500, do I seriously need to go bigger?
Thanks in advance for help
