GeforceFX6200 problem? replaced motherboard, does not boot

[Arrowx7]

Hello,
I changed my motherboard to a P4M800Pro-M dual core 2.66x2Ghz, and kept all hardware the same. The motherboard boots file on integrated video, but when I put the Geforce FX6200 256MB AGP into the AGP slot and connect my monitor to it, the following happens:
The very first time I boot up, I get a screen that shows the type of video card and its memory (Normal, happened with old Motherboard too). Then screen goes "no signal" and motherboard goes into a weird cyclical phases where it keeps speeding up and slowing all the drives, and keeps clicking very oddly.(I think it keeps rebooting itself) Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it. Both AGP video card and motherboard are 4x/8x.

Any suggestions would be good, thank you.

Have you turned off ONBOARD VIDEO in the BIOS?

if not DO SO...

the rebooting is due to the fact that the DRIVERS are loaded for the onboard video, and clash with the FX...

you should deinstall the current video drivers first, before adding a new GFX card... do so in the DEVICE MANAGER, there double click on the GFX CARD (onboard) and DEINSTALL it... then power down, or reboot and go into the BIOS there turn off the ONBOARD VIDEO, EXIT and SAVE... then plug in the new GFX card, and power up....

actually, I don't even have the hard drive plugged in, and I never ran any OS on that MB+processor. I simply installed the MB+processor combo and trying to get it to work.
I think it's the power supply because mine is only 300W. Any ideas?

How about, get a better power supply? Again, make sure you disable the onboard video and set the agp slot as the first video device (all in BIOS)

The answer is "42"

you were right, my 300W power supply wasn't enough. The Motherboard was dying every time I connect the video card. That thing sucks a lot of power.

I replaced it with a 400W power supply and it solved the problem.

Thanks

Glad you found the culprit...
