Having a problem getting display from my 9800 gx2.
I wont have another PC to test if it is defective til tomorrow.
Figured i would shoot a message here to ask the pros, and maybe save me some headaches.

I just installed it into my PC.
Win XP pro (32bit) sp2
2.40 gigahertz AMD Dual Core Opteron(939)
6100K8MA-RS winfast motherboard
2 gig of system memory.
650 watt PS

Before i swapped the card out i uninstalled the display drivers from my old 7800gt.
It posts fine , i can remote in from my neighbors pc after it boots, it found the new video card, installed the drivers all remotely.
Rebooted the machine, but i get no display from monitors.
I have tested my LCD with the HDMI output, and a old CRT i had with the DVI/VGA adapter the card came with.Both monitors will not get a display.

I have my fingers crossed i do not have to send this back.
Thanx in advance for any help or comments

22a , 22a and 25a

Which mine is a 650watt, but on the power supply box it says "+12V combined max output 540w".

Now on the graphic card box it does state minimum system requirements "580w PCI Express - compliant system power supply with a combined 12v current rating of 40a or more"
So this might be my problem, i did not read the numbers on the power supply box close enough.

And yes i did plug all the power connectors in, all lights up green with the case opened.both by the plugs and the back of the card

Now, we can harness the power of TWO DEATH STARS!
