GTwannabe 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Your power supply may not be able to handle the load created by the new video card. Replace it with a high quality brand-name 300+ watt unit. Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted December 29, 2004 The other thing you should do is to make sure you have the latest VIA 4-in-1 service pack installed. This is the motherboard chipset software. Also, make sure the motherboard firmware is up to date, check the manufacturers website for this info. Share this post Link to post
