I just installed an ATI-Radeon x1650pro graphics card, I also installed a new 550w Coolmax power supply. Now I have issues with the graphics locking up or the pictures dissapearing and both of the monitors showing "No Signal". I have a Hp 510c with a 2ghz AMD processor, 1 Gig of RAM and the new stuff mentioned above. Everything else is stock. I downloaded the Newest drivers from the AMD/ATI web site. Before I installed the newest card and drivers I made sure I deleted both the old stock and Omega drivers from the computer. Anyone have an idea why my graphics are freaking out??? |

I don't know squat about computers, but i do enjoy messing with them, so I'm interested in the outcome of your current problem. Like I said, I'm a NOOB with these things, but wonder about the following. 1. When you bring up the properites of the graphics card does all that look proper? 2. Does the new card show up in device mgr. with the proper specs? 3. Is your resolution set to one that the card supports? 4. Does the card work in safe mode? Please don't take offence at any of this, like I said, I'm interested too, and just trying to learn something. |
What're you running for cooling inside the case? That's one possibility, although doubtful. I know on my new 6800XT (which yes I know is an nVidia and AGP 8x/16x) there was a slot to plug in one of the berg connectors for extra power to the card, is there one on your card and is it plugged in?
Hope that helps... |

put the old video card back in and see if it does the same thing. if it does, the new powersupply could be defective. if it doesn't your new video card could be defective you might try reseating the video card. make sure the system is OFF and unplugged make sure if the video card required a molex connector make sure thats plugged in secure as well. |
