KT7 266Pro2 and X800

[Guest]

Replaced a Radeon 8500 with an X800Pro, and the machine will not POST. Gives
a number of beeps.

I'm hoping it's the PSU rather than a bad card.

I have a 300watt FSP300-60BT(PF), and my current spec is:

Athlon XP 1800
512Mb DDR266
2x 80mm Case Fans
3x 7200rpm HDDs
1x CDRW
1x DVD-ROM
4xPCI cards

Any thoughts?


Thanks in advance

Did you forget to plug in a power supply cable to the video card? The
X800Pro requires its own power connection.

Nope.

I'm going to get an Antec True Power 550; was planning a PSU upgrade, even
if the X800 had worked.
