ITs copy'ed from EVEREST!
I heard one thing - flash bios! Is this can help

Do NOT Flash the Bios !
Only ever flash a bios if the new version has a specific fix for a problem you are having. Just flashing or updating a bios for the hell of it is the quick way to a expensive door stop. (Thats all te PC will be good for if it goes wrong).

First thing i am wondering is if your power supply is up to the job or not. Can you let us know the make and model ?

Mactronix

do you have your speaker connected to your chassis? does it make beep sounds when you boot up? if it does, you should count the beeps, and look in your manual to see what it means

Mactronix: i have 350w "HEC" model!
I have tried add 550w power supply.
And i tested my card on 300w but diffrent motherboard.
Some guys said i need flash bios.

eklipz330: i dont, but i think this will no help!

power supply too low it looks like?

although 550w should have worked

If there is a specific fix listed in the bios updates, e.g added support for latest gfx cards or....i dunno it might work. WOuldnt of thought it would be a bios issue however

i just updated bios!

I have tried everything!

make sure you are using the right power (4pin - 8 pin) on your motherboard and video card - Second - eliminate hardware possiblities - other video cards you can swap out for a moment?

I've had this happen to me many times - usually a cable i missed.

wtf is 4-8pin


its my 1st videocard i tried on my pc

4 pin and 8 pin is a cable now with new psu to power the cpu.


also what card are to you trying to install. if it them new one, they need a specific power souces from the psu (e.g pci-e 16 4/6 pin or agp 10 pin (?))

so state your card

I already said pci-e x16! lol

I ganna make bios flash!
I already found hd 3650 bios.

About that Psu, i have unplugged wire - on that wire have whrite - 4P

Probably the video card is faulty perhaps? Do you have another computer? Try the new video card with the other computer.

yes, i have tried it on my firends mobo!
