Graphics card continued

[silverdark]

Got the Axle/ Nvidia Geforce 7950 GT AGP card back. The seller replaced it (yay!), BUT. No. Change. Still no signal from monitors. So I did something that was really annoying and moved the 650w power supply to my old 1.5GHz machine that has a 4x AGP slot in it. And lo I had monitor signal. THE CARD WORKS. Everything back into my other better

:< What is wrong with that thing? Is anyone else having that problem?

[silverdark]

Yeah, apparently there were people who had this problem when the card first came out in '07 and was really expensive still. Most recent complaint about it that I could find was from Apr '09. Some saw *something* and had it go black on windows starting, so their problems were a little different (interference from 'on (mother)board' graphics card- which mine doesn't have). The thing no one else seems to have had though, that I do, is access to another machine with adequate power supply to test on- where I find that the thing works fine. Seems I will have to sacrifice system speed if I want to use it (in another machine)
