In case you previously had an empty video bus slot, and were running just with the onboard chip, don't forget that the display cable has to be moved from the video port on the MB to the one on the card. Sorry if that's too simple, but a ton of folks have forgotten.
Also, you need to "remove" the IGP in the system's Device Manager (so the drivers don't conflict), as well as disable the IGP in the Setup (BIOS). The IGP should be on a page referring to builtin hardware. (The same procedures apply to both the AGP and the PCIe video cards, and even to plain PCI.) Retail versions of new cards come with complete instructions detailing all of this.
Every card I've seen so far with that power plug requirement has had some sort of error behavior to call attention to the need for added power connections. Mostly, they put a message on the screen (assuming the PC owner would read the instructions and plug the correct cable into it) and then they stop responding after that.
So what are you saying? Should I just give up and send this back?
edit: I havent switched any cables whatsoever.
Thanks alot it worked! It didnt say to do that in the manual..... lol
Im having a problem though.. when i scroll up or down on the internet it goes really slow and the mouse freezes..
Thanks, again!
My monitor is blue, but that has nothin to do with the card, the pins are bent in the monitor plug. Guess Ill buy a new monitor or something
