Message title video card

Solution
1) Try a different card in your mobo and see if that boots and doesn't cause a restart. Even a cheap PCI card would likely do for this. If it does the same thing, it's likely not solely the card.

2) Try the card in another computer. If it boots, it obviously isn't the card.

3) PSU could be an issue, but I believe even a Corsair 550W would allow the card (but barely). I read on another post that "you just need 195W or ~17A on the 12V rail."

4) If you really wanted to try something else, you could find a PC with an available PCI slot and see if that got it to at least show.

It does seem likely that it is the card, but you do have some options to try beforehand.
