| 1331496 | 2013-03-07 00:11:00 | Would like some continued help with this issue. still getting a boot to black screen white arrow tried all that was suggested on windows-7-boots-to-black-screen-with-cursor OR community.spiceworks.com but no go. |

| 1331497 | 2013-03-07 00:20:00 | Process of elimination: Did you try the New card in another PC as Sol mentioned, AND load in the drivers for it. If so Does it work OK ? This is to see if its a card problem or OS problem on the Dell. The onboard graphics will be using different drivers to the card. |

| 1331499 | 2013-03-07 00:53:00 | what is the card model and its power requirements...what PSU is in the PC? | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1331500 | 2013-03-07 01:09:00 | Good question! Radeon HD6450 (1Gb DDR) 400W or greater recommended The PSU is 300W - could this be why the computer doesn't recognize it? CPU: Pentium Dual Core E5800 3.20 Ghz (6Gb ram) |

| 1331501 | 2013-03-07 01:22:00 | update: Threw in another video card, just to try and it booted ok. initially, I rebooted and ended up with the black screen white arrow head |

| 1331502 | 2013-03-07 01:29:00 | LOL - does the card have the 6 pin power connector at the end of it?....if not, then the max power draw is 150w supplied via the PCIe slot, so Id say you would probably be alright, especially since Dell PSU's are quiet robust.....how old is the PSU, if at 75% efficiency, it could be struggling..... Best bet is to see if it powers up okay in a PC with bigger PSU....... what is the make and model? |
