hi there,

i have a graphics card that doesnt work for my pc,as in there are no beebs,and the monitor stays blank when i turn it on with an amber light, i have a ic7-g motherboard and the graphics card ati radeon 9800 pro doesnt work for my mobo and i dunt know why(it should work,other people have told me it works and have done it), an old tnt2 works fine going into the same slot, but the radeon 9800 pro card doesnt, i have tested it on another pc and it works there, i got a new power supply(power supply works with it too on other pc) and updated my intel chipset drivers.What am i doing wrong?

p.s. it was my friend who built my computer and found this problem,and my other friend tried a geforce 6800 ultra with a new 500w power supply(both the card and power supply was from his old pc) and it still didnt work,they both know a lot about computers but dont know wot is wrong

thx in advance for the help

Check the monitor resolution, some times if your monitor showing orange light and system is running, check if you using different monitor set on different resolution .

Try increasing your wattage on your PSU. I had this same problem I had just bought all my new upgrades for my PC and a 450w PSU and my monitor and my hard drive wouldn't work. I tried my 500w PSU and it worked! So before you go out and buy new parts try that first.
