hello,
ive got a firepro v3800 card, plugged it in, tried to boot the PC and it wont POST and a black screen is shown, but all the fans, lights, HDD is spinning
Processor gets hot.
the graphics card also powers on. im also having to use a DVI to VGA adapter.
at first i though it was the PSU, using an online calculator it showed with the card i was using ~300W.
i had a basic 250W, so i upgraded to a 400W FSP 80+ unit.
problem not solved.
PC specs -
-intel celeron D 360
-2GB RAM
-packard bell BV RC415 motherboard (it has an AMI BIOS but packard bell have stopped support and AMI website was more than useless)
-it has onboard ATI graphics
i know its a basic PC, but its also a basic card and the PC isnt that old either.
anyone shed any light? its a common problem but i havent seen any useful help yet.
