New Ati Radeon x1650 pro problems

okmsfootball81 · 08-03-2009, 11:34 AM

I have a dell prescion 350 that has windows xp 2002 version and it had a nvidia geforce 6800 graphics in it that needed to be replaced. I just bought a Ati Radeon x1650 pro agp graphics card which is brand new. When i installed the new Ati card in place of the nvidia graphics card the computer turns on but the monitor power button stays yellow. I tried installing the driver before i put the new graphics card in and it did not work. Any suggestions are greatly appreicated thanks!

The 1650 Pro should have an auxiliary power connector, do you have it hooked up?
Is it a AGP or PCIe card?

its a agp. And yes i did it have it hooked up... i turned the computer on and opened the case and the fan was running on the video card. Is there something in on the card i need to plug in ? Im a novice when it comes to graphics card so i dont know much...

What brand and model 1650 card did you get?
The motherboard is 4x AGP some 1650's are 8x, others supposed to be 4x/8x but often don't work in 4x boards.

I have the same problem but I got my card second hand without an auxiliary connector. Could you tell me what type of cable I would need to pick up?

Also running:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 @ 2.60GHz 2.60GHz
3GB RAM
Currently NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / NVIDIA nForce 630i graphics card
Windows 7 OS

In case it's needed.

IS it a 4 Pin plug it's probably a 4 Molex just like powers a IDE hard drive you may or may not have an extra on on the PSU harness.

It says on the box Ati Radeon X1650 512M 128B DDR2 AGP. It dos not have a place on the graphic card to hook up anything...

Heres a picture of my card. http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/okmsfootball81/atiradeonx1650.jpg

This on from Sapphire uses a floppy drive plug do you have a connector that looks like this, some have a 4 pin molex like an IDE hard drive takes and the plain 1650 does not have a plug.

well it dos not have one but it looks like there is a spot for a 4 prong thing where the white thing in the picture you posted is. Could it be that it dosent need one or it dos and its not on there ?

**wrench97** · 08-04-2009, 06:09 PM

If it's not there it does not need one, different manufacturers make them differently.

okmsfootball81 · 08-04-2009, 06:15 PM

well heres a picture of what im talking about http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/okmsfootball81/graphicscard.jpg and i really appreicate the quick response!

also if it needed one would the card still run ? cause like i said i opened the case and the fan was running. Its just theres no picture on the screen, the monitor power button stays yellow

No if it's not there it doesn't need one. I think the card is either defective or not compatible with your motherboard.

lucybaby · 08-05-2009, 04:07 AM

What power supply unit are you using? 400wt or 550wt. If yor PSU is above 550wt then ur motherboard is not compatible.

okmsfootball81 · 08-05-2009, 10:44 PM

I beleive its only a 250 watt power supply... its a dell prescion 350 so im not sure if thats correct ? its a stock computer besides the graphics card.
