I just upgraded to this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487052
I mistakenly overlooked that while the PSU in my Dell is rated at 375w, it only has 18amps on the 12v rail and this card requires 20amps minimum.
I'm willing to upgrade my PSU at this point, but I want to be reassured that it's definitely the problem and not a defect in the card itself. When i install the card's fan spins and my computer boots up, loads windows and everything (I can hear the windows startup tone). But the card never put a out any picture, not even the boot splash.
Would that be consistent with an insufficient PSU? If so, I'm looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182295&cm_re=rose_will_arc_450-_-17-182-295-_-Product
Seems to be rated at 30amps on 12v rail. So hopefully it would work? I'm just wanting to get up and running. Everything works fine with my old card so it has to be either the new card or PSU. Any insights?
