I have an HP Pavillion a1350n and have tried to install NVIDIA cards in it but the computer will constantly re-boot itself. I tried the 6800 and 6600 cards.
My assumption is that the power supply can't handle the cards (think it is a 300 watt) even though it has extra power connections available.
The computer comes with the ATI Express chipset and am wondering if I should try an ATI card (x1600 or x1300) card? I'm not a big gamer but would like to play Doom3 in a better resolution than I can with the 200 express integrated graphics.
So has anyone had luck installing ANY video card in this computer?
Thanks.
