Replaced my 6600GT with an Asus 6800GT but the monitor says no input detected. :( Should I uninstall drivers first before putting in the 6800GT ? Or my Antec 450W PSU is not enough to run it ? Was using a leadtek 6800GT before so I doubt my PSU is not up for it. I've also got 2x HDD and 2x DVD-RW.
 
Doesn't sound like a driver issue, you should always see something at POST.

Check the VGA/DVI cable, check that the molex connector is attached to the card and that it isn't split or shared with anything else.

If that doesn't help, unplug everything from the PC apart from the hard drive you are booting off and the monitor.

I'm thinking it is a power issue - is the fan on it spinning?
 
The molex connector is shared with the DVD drive and the other one is shared with one of the HDD. That could be it. I'm not sure if the fan is spinning but the blue light on the card is on. Guess I should get a new PSU with more molex connectors ?
