Here's the story,
Today i bought a new geforce7800gs agp version, i have a relatively old dell motherboard e210882 which in the first place doesn't show anything on my lcd screen untill after the loading with the windows xp logo, or that could be the cause of my old ATI radeon 9000, i use dvi connection for my screen. Now, i replaced the ati with the gef and had to connect one extra power connection to the end of the card itself..now i have one particular question on this, when you have enough cables to attach EVERYTHing, does it allso mean that your powersupply is capable of handling them? ..and the screen stays black, i've tried with another crt monitor for resolving the problem in this matter, but i can hear the pc start up regularly into windows. Ive called the store where i bought the card and this guy was telling me i have to reset my cmos or bios, i've tried putting teh battery on my motherboard aside for like half an hour, i've tried another method i read about that said to hold the insert key before reattaching the power cable and then starting the pc..all useless..
any suggestions would be more then helpfull,could help me save about 50-100€ and that's pretty welcome if you consider the price tag of that card
