Some urgent help needed, X1950PRO AGP.

Got it today along with 2 gigs of RAM. This was my first time installing my own parts, but it looks like I installed them right, but I'm not getting any video when I turn the CPU on :(.It turns on and the screen is blank. I tried putting the monitor cable into the slot it used to always been in, nothing, I tried the two lower white slots, still no videa, any idea what I'm doing wrong?Some urgent help needed, X1950PRO AGP.
Bump ... I'm stuck.Some urgent help needed, X1950PRO AGP.
Does the computer turn at all? Do you hear any beeps?
Everything turns on, all the lights come on, the fans run, etc. No video on the monitor at all though.
What are the ''two lower white slots'' you talked about?
DVI-H slots I believe. The manual says that's where I plug the monitor into (there's an adapter for it). It has two slots for dual monitors.
Hmm, what motherboard do you have?
Neither the RAM nor the video card seem to be working ... dunno what the problem could be.http://www.amptrondealer.com/App/productdetail.asp?did=5There's my motherboard, all my new hardware should be compatible with that...
What is the wattage on your PSU? I've seen people underpower GPUs and have their entire computer not work because of it.
Max 350W, 12V
w00t, got the RAM working!b00, my PSU isn't enough for the x1950 :(
Do a RMA and get a new card to see if the first X1950 was faulty.
If you need a PSU that can run a X1950PRO, I'd get a [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189013]Xcilo Stablepower 460W[/url]. It's got plenty of power and will run that card with ease.
kodex, would that work with my mobo?
The PSU? It'll work with any motherboard.
Circuit City has some ''Ultra-V'' PSU's ... higher wattage, and cheaper. Can they be trusted though?
newegg.com =)
Ya they can be trusted I have a Ultra Xfinity 600 watt which can power everything under the sun ;). Those Ultra V's are good but I would aim for the 500 watt ones. Plus how much doCircuit Citywant them for?
You don't really need a lot of Watts, it's Amps you need. Can you link the Ultra V?EDIT: If [url=http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Ultra-V-Series-500W-Power-Supply-ULT3141/sem/rpsm/oid/143299/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do]this is[/url] it, I wouldn't get it. It's got some bad reviews (a guy went through 4 of them) and it has no mention of a PFC of any kind. That's the thing that keeps a stable voltage flowing to all your componants.

[/QUOTE] I think the guy had a bad case of luck or was doing something wrong. But if you can get the xfinity psu from ultra, its more future proof and they are built good. The heat sinks inside are made of copper instaed of aluminium(copper is better at releasing heat). Mine was like 3x the weight than my old 550 watt psu. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Customer-reviews-for-ULtra-X-Finity-500-Watt-ATX-Power-Supply-ULT31844/sem/rpsm/oid/159269/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do#tabs ULtra X-FinityTM 500 Watt ATX Power Supply (ULT31844)

I need to know a run command prompt

I forgot what the command prompt is in run for accessing start up programs and turning them off or on. The PC forum has helped me a lot in the past so hopefully one of you can answer my question. Just ask me if you don't know what i'm talking about and i'll try to add more detail.I need to know a run command prompt
Nevermind, I found it. It's msconfig.

Everything looks good except for the motherboard, seeing theres only 2 reviews on it doesn't really''prove'' the quality of the board, I would go with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128012

I've never heard of Hanns-G, but I know Acer has great deals and great products, so go w/ the Acer monitor.$200 widescreen war

The first one is slightly bigger and gets a higher resolution but i dont think it is true 16:9 widescreen unlike the second one.

Get the Acer since your card can handle 1680x1050.
I recommend this in the 200 dollar range 2ms response time, theresno lag or ghosting whatsoever while gaming plus its hdcp ready so if you have a ps3 you can hook it directly to the back of the monitor (using an hdmi-dviadapter of course, its what I have and I love it. But between those two, I would go with the hans.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001094%26Tpk=906%2bbw

[QUOTE=''inyourface_12'']ok i looked up your mobo and you have pci-e. so how much do you want to spend? and we can point you in the right direction[/QUOTE] His computer likely has a POS PSU so the 8600GT would be his best bet.
OMG GOD BLESS YOU GUYSS, i'm willing to spend 150-200
yeah 8600 gt is your best bet. if that wont run youll have to drop to a 7600 gs

Few small questions.

Hello. First and foremost thanks for any help or comments, constructive critisisem and so forth.I've been having trouble with my floppy drive, being that I don't have one but the computer keeps telling me to make sure its closed(yes, it asks me to CLOSE it) when I'm shutting down. Does anyone know why this could be happening? Also it only does it for a few weeks after TRYING to update my motherboard BIOS on my EVGA 680i, I use a DVD-R drive and a blank CD to flash by the way. It just won't. I've tried flashing and during the BIOS flash update screen it says it can't do it because of an error and that the BIOS is loading defaults. I've also tried to doing it through the nVidia update centre following EVGAs update instructions to the letter but on startup above where it says ''press F1 to continue'' it says ''BIOS update failed - Loading defaults''. Its not imperitive to fix this but I'm going to set up a RAID 0 config harddrive setup soon and I've heard the EVGA680i doesn't react to greatly to RAID 0 configs without the update.Cheers
