Aaaah I wonder if that's the case in this instance?

So you've *definitely* plugged in the additional power cable to the GPU then, yes?

My card doesn't have aux power cable


Pretty sure it's nothing to do with power output of PCIe 1.0, have seen loads now that suggest the 7750 should work

Sounds like my mobo just not compatible:

"Via chipset boards have a problem in many cases with PCI-E 2.0 video cards.... so if you can find a PCI-E 1.0x card somewhere, that would probably be best.. although they are getting almost impossible to find.
For any card that you want to try, write to the manufacturer and see if they can tell you if the card will work with the Via chipset..."

So next question :-) .... any picks for a cheap mobo upgrade from the Socket 775 options on pricespy allowing me to keep my processor:

Product Price* Chipset
ASRock G41M-S3 $79.35 Intel G41
ASRock G41M-VS3 $79.35 Intel G41
ASRock G41C-GS $85.13 Intel G41
Asus P5G41T-M LX $86.00 Intel G41
Intel DG41TX $99.00 Intel G41
Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2P $113.85 Intel G41

1290781 2012-07-26 11:13:00 Well considering they are all the same chipset I don't think which matters much.
Intel boards tend to be rock solid but low on features, asus and gigabyte both have good reputations, and asrock seem to be gaining popularity having seperated from asus I believe.

Seen many failures of the Asrock and even more of Intel boards.
