Hi guys hope you can be of some assistance!
I've tried installing my new card today a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 only to be met by pain and frustration!
I thought i'd make sure everything was in order by installing the PSU, processor, cooler, a ram module and the card before trying to display the BIOS. However, although the fan on the card spins no display appears on the monitor. I've tried the card on a couple of mates PC's to be met with the same problem. This suggests the card could be at fault? Is there anything out of the ordinary that needs to be done installing the card?
Thanks in advance
The rest of the system is as follows.
Intel Core Duo E8500 CPU
Asus motherboard P5Q SKT 775 Intel P45 1600FSB DDR2 ATX
Corsair 4096MB TwinX 8500Dominator C5 DDR2 5-5-5-15 1066Mhz Memory Western Digital 320GB Caviar SATA II 300 7200rpm 16MB cache Hard Disk
Corsair PSU 550W VX550W ATX12V
These all compatible?
Thanks again
Tom
