a little help :)

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 09:46 PM

Will this gpu work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131149 with my 250 watt power supply i have the NEWTON POWER NPS-250HB a 250W POWER SUPPLY. OR if you can really help please list some gpus that would work with my psu. It has an agp slot so i need an agp gpu.

erocker · Jun 15, 2009, 09:49 PM

As long as you have a free four pin molex connector it will work.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 09:51 PM

Yes i do have a free four pin molex connecter, but can i get something better then that and how do you know it uses less then 250 watts and will work. Iam just a little paranoid because i cannot get my money back once i order.

mlee49 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:00 PM

What motherboard do you have? Is it AGP 4x or will it handle an 8x card?

Here's a nice little card that may work:

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:02 PM

Well my old gpu that went was a ati radeon 9700 pro. I dont know my mother board and i cant even start up my computer. But i think its 8 x.

Thank you for the reply

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:03 PM

I have an intel p4 processor if that helps lol.

mlee49 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:07 PM

Can you look at the motherboard? If you can usually underneath the PCI/expansion slots is the motherboard model. It would be helpful.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:15 PM

I am pretty sure this is it http://skyline-eng.com/index.cfm?fus...TOKEN=84975685

BTW i have gateway e6000

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:42 PM

anyone?

mlee49 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:45 PM

I would think the board handles the AGP8x since it handles 800/1066 ram. Still most older cards, specifically a 'Low Profile' card I mentioned doesn't draw much power anyways.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 10:46 PM

Whats a low profile card, and are you sure it would work because i dont want to waste money.

Low profile cards are meant to fit into small desktop or home theater PC's. You don't really need one, but you can install one in your PC and it won't hurt a thing.

But before you consider buying anything, we need to know what you mean by you "can't even start my pc." Does it do anything at all? Do any lights come on or flash? Does it make any beeps? If it does absolutely nothing, then you probably have bigger problems than just a video card.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 11:17 PM

Lol i meant that i never turned it on with out the graphic card so i am guesing there would be no picture, right? and the problem with my graphic card was that it was showing pink and green lines accross the screen and it wasnt my monitor

NastyHabits · Jun 15, 2009, 11:26 PM

Go to this link- http://forums.techpowerup.com/showth...44#post1433044 -- and get the ATI Rage Pro the guy is giving away free. (You pay shipping). It will be at least twice as good as the card that came with your PC. (Geforce MX 200, right?)

xxbadboys93 · Jun 15, 2009, 11:27 PM

No my card came with ati radeon 9700 pro

Damn good idea Nasty! Get a free card before you even buy one!

Thank you for the reply

QUESTION 1
How do you know that the GPU "went"? Please say a little more. You might be spending money fixing the wrong thing. A sh1tty PSU or aging voltage regulators or failed caps could bring down a Northbridge or GPU, while the card itself is OK. Did you test the 9700 elsewhere? It is worth checking.

PS. The 9700 is a great card, and since the drivers are already installed, why not just get a replacement on ebay? Cheap.

QUESTION 2
What do you use your PC for? And your GPU? 2D desktop or 3D games. And what kind of monitor do you have? There may be better solutions than getting a new AGP onto your old RDRAM based P4.

My bad.

Can't believe everything you read in Google.

Listen to Lemonade soda.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 16, 2009, 12:47 AM

It shows like pink and green vertical lines accross the screen and its not the drivers i tried installing and reinstalling different ones.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 16, 2009, 12:52 AM

I found out my motherboard its INTEL D85OEMV2 CHIPSET i850e

lemonadesoda · Jun 16, 2009, 06:59 AM

Vertical stripes going DOWN the screen can be GPU failure or TFT failure. Zig-zags or repeated patterns is 100% GPU failure. But with coloured verticals it is 50/50 the TFT or the GPU.

Yes, it is clear it isnt drivers. And yes, maybe it IS the GPU, but have you checked the monitor on another PC?

Please answer my previous questions.
Please fill in your system specs.

No more help until above completed. i HATE timewasters who are too lazy to give the full picture/situation but still expect people to spend time helping them.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 16, 2009, 11:38 PM

Ok here are the specs, gateway e-6000 512 mb of ram, the old one i would like to upgrade that in the future, intel p4 2.66 ghz i believe, my motherboard its INTEL D85OEMV2 CHIPSET i850e. It had the 9700. Its defintally the video card i called ati and they said its a bad memory chip, it went bad. I ended up ordering the hd 2400 agp by powercolor. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131149
I will let you know if it works. It does require 300 watts but i called ati and they said that it should work. And the gpu should use no more than xx watts.

lemonadesoda · Jun 17, 2009, 12:00 AM

Good luck. I hope it works.

"pink and green lines across the screen" (is that vertical or horizontal?). Vertical stripes, going top to bottom, and unbroken, and repeated evenly every few cm is a sign of bad memory on the GPU. Horizontal stripes are usually a TFT problem. Irregular vertical stripes are usually TFT. A "pattern" like a repeated artifact shifted and copied all over the screen is definitely GPU.

So I hope your new HD2400 solves the problem!

If, as you say, "pink and green lines across the screen" = horizontal stripes then I think your TFT is the issue.

xxbadboys93 · Jun 17, 2009, 12:03 AM

I tested the monitor with my laptop though and it seem to give a crystal clear picture, you getting me worried that its the monitor now.
BTW my I ask you why you name is lemonadesoda, its kind of funny lol,
