Hi,

I get a weird message on my A7N8-E and my radeon 9500 pro.

It complains about the power cord not being connected to my graphiccard and
will thus not start.

The weird part is that the graphiccard is connected and the fan is
running...

Any ideas ?? Possibly how to disable it ??

Thanks,
jorgen
 
I'm not sure, but does the 9500pro need a power lead from the PSU? I dunno.
Then again, if its asking for one I guess it does. If so, make sure you're
giving the card its OWN power molex direct from the PSU. It could also mean
your PSU is not up to par. ATI card in the 9xxx range require decent power.
Could be the source of your woes.

I have a Radeon 9500 and it definitely needs a separate power connection
from the power supply. It uses one of those little connectors, like the one
used with the floppy drive. The connection point is at the top of the card
and just shows a number of bare pins pointing toward the back of the card.
This is where the extra power connector goes.

ahh.. so the difference is that it has to be a "DEDICATED" power molex going
to it ?

thanks,
