I have replaced an old graphics card in a dell dimension e510 with a 5970 and a riser. I also put in a 600 watt PSU. The computer starts and the lights come on but it almost immediately turns off. If I remove one of the pci-e power chords the computer starts but the graphics card obviously does not work. I have tested the graphics card in another computer. I have tested the riser with the old x300 and it works fine. I have tried using molex for one of the power connectors. I'll have to check again but I'm pretty sure the computer starts withought the riser in and all pci-e power connected... I have also tried the riser powered and unpowered.
I feel like I am out of options and I don't know what to do...
Edit: I should also mention that I was able to run the 5970 and a gtx 670 on my main gaming rig with a 750 watt psu.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Sounds like your Dell is infected. Do a search on the internet for constant reboot windows. |

I have just confirmed that the computer does stay on when I remove the extender but leave the graphics card powered. That is what I find weirdest about the whole thing.
Also, I have tried removing hard drive and DVD drive power, no luck.

Faulty riser?
I tested the riser with the unpowered x300 card that came with the dell. Worked fine. |

I would but it never even posts or has time to load anything from the hard drive.

Load failsafe defaults in BIOS? I dunno, that's weird. Does it work if you skip the riser, and plug in directly?

The card does not fit, that's why I got the riser. However the old graphics card works fine, I am going to work on updating the bios today but if I do it from windows it says the computer is not ready to flash or something. I will try the DOS version. |

The card works with the newest bios!!! The problem now is that there is no display output... There is also no on-board video.
Edit: I lied, the vga for the on-board video was covered. I am getting video through that now.
Edit 2: I think I got it, installing drivers now. The bios update reset the settings.

Glad you got it sorted. |
