Compatibility Issues!!! Need Help!!!

[Manimal452]

I'm struggling big time with installing a hercules prophet 3d ddr board onto a gigabyte ga6bxc mainboard. I know the video card works fine since i had it in my other machine for almost a year and it had no problems. Right now i have a tnt2 on the system and it works with no problem. But when i try using the prophet in it, it freezes up on me during gameplay and i tried everything to resolve this. I tried many different drivers for the card and its not sharing any irq's so i'm really stumped. I checked gigabyte's site for any bios updates that would be useful but i found nothing. I'd really appreciate it if somebody can help me out with this, i've spent plenty of hours already and feeling its hopless.

This is a Geforce 1 card ??? If so they are very power Hungry and its possible the the motherboard is not able to feed it enough power. I'm not familiar with your Motherboard so this is just a guess on my part.

Yea i head that too, is there any possible solutions to that problem, or am i going to need a new mobo to solve this?

what kind of Power Supply is in the PC maybe and this is a long shot. If you could try someone elses 300 watt PS like a sparkle or a Antec it may help but I would try someones before I spent the cash for one unless you would just like to upgrade the PS for safety sake.

wouldnt it be the power supply not giving enough power and not the motherboard?

Its possible

Right now i have a 250w ps in the system, but i guess its worth a try with a 300w, i have 1 hd, 1 cd and controller card, 2 nic cards and a mx300 sound card and a few fans, so this maybe the problem.

Its might be worth a try. Get a Antec or sparkle. 300w
