I am sure you have heard this all before but i am in need of help.....
OK i have a compaq persario S6289UK It has 2Gig ram , 80 Gig HDD and Intel Pent 4, 2.6gh CPU.
I wanted to be able to play the occational game and the onboard graphics are not up to it.
Brought a ATI Radeon 9550 AGP graphics card, brought a new 570Watt Trust PSU.
Install PSU turn on all working fine, checked the BIOS it is set to AGP/ONBOARD. Installed card......Nothing the machine turns on all the fan spin the HDD sounds like its spinning but no display. Move video lead back to onboard still no display.
I have already downloaded the lastest driver for the graphic card but can not do any thing with them.
Any ideas???
I know the PSU is up to the task as it is brand new and quite high wattage the only thing i am not 100% of is the AGP slot, the ATI Grap card fitts but i am unsure about this 2X, 4X and 8X the ATI grap card "should be installed in a 8X AGP slot but i dont know what is on the board
Any help much appriciated
