I posted over in the review thread for this card but I felt i should try making a thread here.
I picked up an XFX 8800 GT 512 mb, Alpha dog card at future shop but i can't get it to work. I hear it running, but i seem to get a video error (long beep then 2 short ones i think) on bootup.
Firstly the cords with the card (a 4 pin -6 pin connector) for the power is too short for me to use. I have a 6 pin - 6 pin connector that came with my power supply (Modstream PS, 450 watt/OCZ 12U) which i've tried using. I do hear the card running it's fan so im unsure if power is the problem.
Other than the beeps my monitor goes right into hibernation mode.
I'd rather not have to return this, and hoping i can find out what im doing wrong. If anyone has any ideas that'd be helpful. I'm totally lost so far.
