If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
I checked and double checked prior to purchasing this ATI 1600 card, to make sure I was going the right route with this upgrade.
I bought a new power supply as recommended, and installed it, along with the card, into my DELL 8250.
When I tried to boot, the lights on my cd-roms would come on, then the floppy drive light would com on, and then STAY on.
e
There was NO video at all, and no hard drive activity either. The diagnostic LED's were showing GGGY. That sequence is supposed to idicate that there is a card or component improperly installed.
I went through the routine of checking to make sure the power supply was OK, and then as a last resort, put in the old ATI 9700 128 card.
The machine booted up perfectly. So I now have a shiny new power supply, but no upgraded video.
Anyone else experienced this?
I think I may just have a bad card. But I wanted to check here and see if anyone had a simular experience.
Thanks,
Hanko
