I just bought a new 5850 from newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102881) a few days ago along with a new 24'' samsung monitor. I was previously running a 9800gtx+ fine with this monitor, but right when i put the 5850 in nothing displays on my monitor and after about 10 seconds i hear the fan get really loud. So I wanted to see if my 9800gtx+ worked... so i put it in and it worked fine. I should mention that im not using the 6 pin extenders seeing as my PSU already has 2 of these. Could this be the problem? Could the problem be maybe preinstalling 5850 drivers?
