Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem, and I hope someone can help me please. I just built a new computer, and put my older graphics card into it, along with existing hard drive, DVD writer.
The motherboard is an ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA, fitted with 2GB of DDRII RAM. The processor is a dual core AMD 64. The graphics card I want to install is a Radeon 9800SE card with 128Mb of memory. The problem I am having is this: when I install the card, and plug in the 12v floppy type power connector, as required, then switch the PC on, the CPU and gfx fans spin up for about a second and then stop. I don't get anything on the monitor, the PC doesn't boot at all, not even into the BIOS.
If I disconnect the 12v supply from the gfx card, the PC boots, but it beeps furiously, and a message on the screen says I have to plug in the 12v power connector! Obviously, if I do that the PC does not work at all! arrgh! Can someone help me please???
Thanks!
