OK, building a PC for my girlfriend out of oldish parts.

Basically it's an Athlon Thunderbird 1200 in an A-Bit KT7a (RAID).

The graphics card was a GeForce 2MX on account of my Geforce 4 ti4600 breaking some time ago, so I decided to get a new Leadtek Winfast A180B MX4000 card from OcUK,to replace the 2MX.

But when powering up, it does nothing, no monitor signal and the PC will not even POST, chuck the 2MX back in and all is fine.

Any advice or have I just been unlucky and got a dud!.

Thanks in advance.
 
Sounds like you might have been unlucky and got a dud..... you could try the card in another machine if that makes a difference?
 
Not so easy, my other machines have been tidied (Cables wrapped etc) and It's too much trouble to take them apart.

The only other option I have is to go to OcUK shop with the machine and card and give it a try there, anyone know if that might be possible if I give them a call first?.
