first off i just want to let you guys know, im ONLY 14. now, im currently running an NVidia GeForce MX/MX 400 (64 MB memory) its an agp (no idea what that is) not a PCI express or whatever. now, when i put in my new card (ATI Radeon x1300 pro) there's no video on my monitor, i know this card isnt a dud because i even had a proffesional try to install it and i even tried replacing it. anyway somebody at staples told me that its probably my power supply, and that its not good enough. here are some basic system specs if it helps....
'03 dell dimension 8200
intel pentium 4 1.8GHz
512 MB (really expensive kind of ram)
and i dont know what else to put up there :S anyway, its not a great comp, i recently ditched my old 40gb hardrive and threw in a 120gb along with my 150 external. if ANYBODY can tell me where i can find out what my power supply is, or how expensive a better one would be that would be great. and if that's not even the problem then please tell me what is.
