Has anyone gotten an ATI Radeon 1650 pro graphics/video card to work on a 400w power supply?

I have installed the card as the directions told me to and can not get any video output from the card. It will not let me install the drivers, I get "Setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration. Please make sure you have the required hardware or software." every time I try to install them (they are the correct drivers). I've changed BIOS settings to read from PCIE first, completely removed and reinstalled the card and tried everything I can think of. The fan on the card spins but no output. I am currently using onboard graphics in a gigabyte m55plus-s3g mobo.



My system:

400w ps

amd athlon x2 2.2 cpu

3 gigs ddr2 800

one optical drive

one hdd

msi tv tuner card



Would a bigger power supply fix the problem, or do I have a bad card?|||with the card still in the machine, try plugging the monitor into your integrated graphics, if it works, you have you disable the integrated graphics in BIOS.



if that doesn't work i'd say the card is bad



i ran a 1600 pro on a 350 watter and am now running a radeon HD 3850 (recommended 450w) on the same 350 watter ( its very underrated..lol)



although i do have a 500 watter sitting on the floor waiting to be slapped in there..

REPLYING TO WHAT YOU ADDED.you may have told it to check the pcie first, but the integrated runs on PCIE too. so something mightbe confused in the machine..lol



there should be an option to disable onboard graphics in there..most mobos these days automatically disable the onboard chip as soon as another graphics card is put in, but the option to disable it manually is still in the bios..



you shouldnt get output on the integrated, if it was truly automatically disabled when the new card was put in



disable it in bios and change everything else back
