Solve : New video card causes pc to reboot?

Answer»

I use Windows XP service pack 2 and currently have an SIS 760series video card on my motherboard. I want to use a new program called Plan 3D but my card was not supported so I bought a new one. It is a PCI NVidia GE force 5500 and when I installed it and started my computer up, it would run for 15sec. then restart. It kept repeating this over and over, and I would get and error message saying System is recovering from a serious error. When I plugged the monitor into the old port, it was fine.
Can you tell me what might be WRONG?Not enough power ? ?
Describe your system components and what wattage your PSU is...The computer is an ACPI Uniprocessor pc, plug and play monitor, amd sempron 2400+, 1.66GHz, 224mb of ram, Windows XP home edition 2002- service pack 2. I checked the UPS and it SAYS it is currently stopped.Does your motherboard have onboard video? If so, you MAY have to go into setup and disable it, and then reinstall your new card and drivers.Quote from: jayajean on May 21, 2008, 02:27:55 AM

Not the UPS...the power supply.
