I have an old Compaq 2.5Ghz computer which works fine, and I plugged a PCI radeon graphics card into it, and it won't post. The PCI slots otherwise work fine. The power just blinks and dies. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?
 
What are the specs on the power supply and the requirments of the VCs?

This sounds like a PSU problem.
 
#1 I recall on a lot of older computers, you needed to specify an external video source in the bios (aka switch a setting from integrated video to pci video somewhere in the bios) then it posted.

#2 I have had bitchy cards that don't work in certain computers for stupid reasons.

#3 I'm sure you've tried it in another computer already to rule out the card being bad, right?
