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
