Video card has power but will not display

bobafett14502 · 07-01-2009, 10:33 AM

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS video card and a ASUS PSAD2 motherboard. The cooling fan on the video card is spinning up so I believe I am getting power however, I am not getting any kind of display. I have tried 2 different monitors and cables. Any help would be appreciated.

Turbo Cool - 510 ATX-PFC express:
+5V @ 40 A
+12V @ 34 A
-5V @ 0.3 A
-12V @ 2.0 A
+3.3V @ 30 A
+5VSB @ 3.0A
Continuous power = 510W Max
Peak Power = 650W Max

shows the minimum requirements for your card its says 350 watt under power notes and looks like from alil reserch it only uses up about 90watts 110 full power also its amprage is needed to be at least 24 so you need to upgrade to 650watt above :\
