I bought a All-in-Wonder ATI 9700 Pro card a couple of weeks ago. When I installed it and turned on the computer, the computer didn't turn on. ATI sent me a replacement and I got it today. Installed it, and same thing happened - computer didn't start up. I unplugged the power cord to the card and the computer started up - as soon as it did, I plugged the power adapter back into the card again, and the card works perfectly!!!! What is going on??????

System:
Athlon XP 2700+
Epox nVidia nForce2 400
425 watt power supply
2 - SATA RAID WD 160G hard drives (only using 180G)
CD and DVD drives
AIW ATI 9700Pro graphics card

I think your power supply dumped a large turd in your lap.
