Galaxy Zeus 5200 video card
Son No 1 brought home some flash new game that needed a heavier video card than my current setup has, so (stoopid) dad buys a Galaxy Zeus 5200, which the man in KL said would cope with high demand video games.
Stuck it in - blank screen on boot up. Asked around and was told the problem probably was not enough power (my computer has a 250 watt power supply). So I bought a rather expensive 350 watt power supply and put that into my machine.
Same result.
I haven't tried stripping the computer down to a basic setup using the 350 watt power supply, mainly because if I have to remove all the bits and pieces I normally have attached, I'm not interested in using the Zeus 5200. Question is, do I have a dicky card, or is that particular video card likely to need more than 350 watts to run 2 HDs, a CD Rom and a ZIP drive?
