I have an XFX GeForce 7600 GT, and the box says it requires a pentium 4 cpu. Does this mean it does not support an Duo Core CPU? I have the video card set up with a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, and the motherboard does not POST. is this CPU/Videocard combo the cause of it?

I have no means of testing any of the parts on another computer, as this is the most recent pc I have, as in, it's the only one that supports duo core CPUS and PCI-E X16 slots.

Generally I think it would be hard to find a PIII chipset that supported PCI express....

But as long as the card is PCI express, and that speed (x16) is supported by the chipset, which it is, you shouldn't have a problem.

But of course you could have a defective card.

Do you have the extra power connector on the video card?? They require another power cable from the power supply directly to the video card. Without it, the video BIOS can't boot telling the CPU where to send the video.
