I'm building a new Athlon XP 1800+ system and I purchased an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 32 MB Graphics card for the system -- AGP. For some reason I am not receiving any signal from the computer whatsoever. The system is receiving power and sounds like it is booting up properly (you can hear the RAM checking and hard drive initialization). The card must also be receiving power since its fan is operating when the computer is turned on.

The motherboard I purchased was an ASUS A7V266-E w/ an AGP Pro slot. I looked through the manuals as best I could, but could not find anything that might involve jumper settings in order to get a signal from the card (the motherboard does not have built in video -- only sound).

The only two places I have now to go from are:

1) I purchased a case that advertised a 300 watt power supply. However, when I look on the back of the case, the power switch says '115/230' -- not '150/300'. Am I missing something? (remember, the computer sounds like it is booting up exactly as it should). If this is actually a lack of power, could it have something to do with then graphics card?

2) I removed the plastic tab from the AGP Pro cavity (the one that says do not remove unless using an AGP Pro Graphics Card). I have since put the tab back in its place. I seriously doubt that this could have caused the problem at hand, but I just thought I would point it out.

I would appreciate any help. I have a feeling that I am missing something blatantly obvious, so please, any ideas, even the stupid ones, would be very helpful right now.

Thanks,
Chad

P.S. This is a Christmas present so time is of the essence.

your pb interest me high because i have exactly the same symptoms with also an AIW Radeon 32Mo and an AGP Pro slot

my mb is an Asus A7V133, case box of 250W


i think 115/230 is not the wattage but the voltage
to know your real wattage, you have to open your case & read the wattage directly on the power supply
