Hi,
I bought a video card today. It is a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1300 512mb.

For my knowledge of video cards. You can stick it in and it turns on then you install the driver off the disc it came with.
Well, I installed it and when I turn on the computer nothing showed up. My monitor's power button is an orange color (the color when your computer is in stand-by mode). That is it. Nothing else happens. So I was wondering whats wrong.
I can think of three possible problems with the video card.
1. It is deffective
2. My power supply does not support enough the card, but I think it should at least start and show something just not function at 100% effieciency.
3. I noticed it is a GDDR2 memory type, and my computer does not support this type of memory.
Here are my system specifications:
x2 512 Ram
Dvd+r burner
2.60 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor
300Gb SATA maxtor hard drive
ASUS P4SD-LA Motherboard also known as "stingray"
any other motherboard specs are found here:

i think it is possibly number 1 or 3 that is the problem. can anyone help me out? thanks.
