A warning, these questions are far below most of what I have seen on here. I recently bought Radeon 9250...i uninstalled my old voodoo 5 (i know) and hooked it into my first PCI slot. I then (following ATI's instructions) hooked everything back up, including the monitor to the new video card. The screen ended up blank, and the monitor obviously was not recognized. I hooked the monitor up to the built-in motherboard graphics chip, and the screen came up and told me to install the drivers, new hardware found...yadda yadda. Had problems with that installation...not sure why...although when i check the device manager it says the card is functioning properly. Not sure what to do next...when i hooked it up...there was a bundle of cords with a plastic clip on the end (told you i suck) whcih was plugged into the voodoo chip, but there is no place to put it on the new chip. I don't know if that's the power source or what...or if I need new cords or a new motherboard or just some good advice...any help would be greatly appreciated.
