Won't Post with GeForce Fx 5200 graphics card

[TC]

Mobo: ASUS A7N8x
CPU: AMD 2600
PSU: 400W
Latest BIOS: 10/2003 1007


No beep, no nothing. If I replace the new 5200 with an older graphics
card (GeForce NVG25GA), it works fine.

You did run seperate power to the video board? If tapping F5 on
startup and it won't enter Safe Mode then that card must be bad. I'm
running one on that mobo.

Do you need to ? I have a pair of 5200 in my Childrens PCs neither had any
PSU connector that I could see ?

Both have worked fine for months

Huh? The card plugs into the AGP slot on the mobo and gets its power
from the mobo.

Some cards require an extra 4 pin connector from the PSU. Check to see
if this is the case with your new card.

Mine is an ASUS card. I have seen more issues in Google on this than I
would like. I have also contacted ASUS support. Should be easy for
them. My mobo and graphics card came from them.
