Hello experts - might I ask you for some help, please?
I'm trying to upgrade the video card in a Dell Dimension 4550 desktop (2.66 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, AGP and PCI slots only) running Windows XP). It worked just fine with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (until that card's fan went out and the card died), and I tested it with an ATI Radeon 9550 - no problems. I bought an ATI Radeo X1300 AGP card. Installed it... turned the computer on... no POST. Yes, I connected the extra power connector. Monitor never wakes up, computer never gives the POST screen.
What gives? Is it just an incompatibility? I'd love any help y'all could offer!
Thank you!
