Sapphire ATI Radeon x1650 AGP - do I have enough power?

My PSU has 18A on the 12V and a total output of 350W, which should be enough to run this card. My computer is a Sony PCV-RZ504 with an AGP mobo. Can provide extra details if needed.

But it doesn't, to the extent that the screen does not even receive anything.

Can anybody help with this?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes. I haven't looked up the manf. specs for that card, but you should have more than plenty of juice for that little guy.

even if there wasn't enough power, you should be able to see something on the screen. my geforce 7600GT actually worked when it wasnt even connected to the psu.

Not integrated (nothing in bios and the old GPU is sitting on my desk).

Probably DOA or something weird with my monitor (ViewSonic VP171b)
