Here is a couple of things it could be. Your Power Supply could not be up to par. your AGP slot might be 4x and not work with 8x cards. Or the card is DOA and you should send it back. Also check if there is a power plug on the 2600. It may have one since the x1300 doesnt need extra power since its a lower end card.
