i got hold of one of these 4 DVI o/p cards and have attempted to install it over the last three nights and am at my wits end.
my computer currently has a HD 3450 card, Acer MCP73PV motherboard (it was an Acer Aspire M5640 computer to start).
Instead of purchasing a new psu, i have chained two psu's i had laying around for power. a 400w and a 350w.
i use the 350 for the motherboard and drives and the 400 to power the video card.
from what i've read this should be more than enough to drive the card.
the video card is powered thru 6 pin from 400W and double molex to 6 pin adapter to the 8 pin connection (couldn't find an 8 pin adapter locally).
I have read the extra two pins on the 8 pin video card connection are just extra grounds for overclocking, which i'm not going to do anyway and this setup should power the card.
after much searching on the internet I have done everything from uninstalling all drivers, including on board graphics, cleaning out drivers as well as removing cmos battery and only ever get a black screen.
the fans are whirring and lights are flashing on the video card but....black screen.
have done endless variations of the above.
i'd like to avoid buying a new psu unless absolutely required but if i hafta, i guess i'll bite.
at any rate, has anyone got any ideas how i might proceed further with this?
appreciated.
thx in advance.
