ok i recently install a new vidcard agp. when going thru post it says "found hardware problem" f1 to skip or del to enter power setup. if i skip the pc starts up ok, i can see screen and all. now when i try to play this game it just goes black like it shuts off the monitor. wonder if it is the game or the vidcard.

asus p4g8x deluxe-mobo with agp 8x capable
bfg nvidia geforce 7300 gt agp 512 mb
350 atx power supply

What happens when you [Delete] enter power setup?

Your power supply might not be capable of powering this card correctly.

that's what i was thinking but i fix the problem, just install the latest driver from the site, and it is fine no more message "found hardware problem" i thought it might have been the power suply but i guess not, but i still think i should buy a more powerful power supply.

Any NVIDIA 7000 series will want at least 350 Watts.

Depends also on what else you have running. Also depends on the quality of the PSU.

Anyway it would be a good upgrade. 500 Watts would be good. Also makes for a "happier" system. Less stress etc.

well it did it again today "hardware monitor error found" once, so i went and restart the computer to see if it would do it and no, it didn't do it. i went to power set up, but i don't know what to check for. maybe like you said i need to make my system happy with a more powerful powe supply like a 500.

I think it is a good idea.
