New 7600GS [AGP] Problem.. :(

Got myself a xFx 7600GS agp version for christmas..

i had a 6600GT, it burnt out, installed a FX5200 for backup.. then today, i uninstalled the Graphics driver, then plugged the 7600gs in.

When the desktop came up... my screen went black.. then it said "input not supported" then my desktop came back..

i said.. ok, so i clicked on the file to install the driver, boom, did it again and this time, it stayed on the "input not supported" black screen.. like my monitor disconnected or something, i pressed Alt+F4.. and boom, i was at my desktop again..

I even got WoW up and running for about 5 seconds then my screen went black and my monitor, again, said "input not supported" or something like that..

MSI Neo 2 platinum motherboard
2Gigs pc3200 GEIL ram (4x512)
AMD Athlon 3500+ 64 bit
Sata 80 gig hard drive
450 Watt power supply it says peak is 450, not a "name" brand
Geforce 7600GS..

I am thinking my Gcard isnt getting enough juice.. so everytime i go to open a program that takes more juice, i lose my screen for about 5 seconds..

i tried playing a video on windows media, screen went black.. and stayed like that saying that input thing..


Any ideas? its christmas and i really want this computer running

It may be the amps on that 450 watt psu ya got. for instance the bfg 7600gs agp cards require a minimum of 20amps on the +12v rail. even tho you're sportin 450w psu, the +12v amps may be still low especially if your runnin multiple hard drives couple of burners and what not.

I fixed it guys!


Just had to update my Motherboards Bios lol

jee lol, Thanks for the input though

You got it chief! Merry Christmas! 8)
