Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 4600 and until recently had a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 video card in it. I decided to upgrade and got an AGP 6800XT.
I took out the old fx5200, stuck in the 6800xt, replugged everything back and started my computer but my monitor stays black. The light on it flashes green at the moment the computer starts up but then shortly after it reverts to orange and doesn't show anything.
I know its probably a problem with my PSU, but on http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=7&t=9354
it says the 6800 uses only 2 watts more than the fx5200. (38 and 36)
I took out the new one and am now using the old one and the monitor works fine.
Thanks in advance for any help, and if theres any computer information needed that I left out please ask.
