    Hello! I am new to this forum and have a bit of a problem.

    I was recently playing a gamr, and my screen went blank, monitor was fine and I could hear sound, so my graphics card has finally died. I have bought a new one, a X1650 PRO AGP and I really need help installing it. It states I have to plug it into my hard drive and power supply, but I'm confused as there are so many cables. It came with quite a lot too, but I presume I only need to use the one with three plastic plugs on the end.

    Could anyone help guide me through installing this card as I am a total newbie at doing it, and am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope to hear from you soon. :chk:

    Or this one (+/- the same as above only with pictures and links to other value newbie tutorials).

    some quick notes btw:
    *you don't need any cables that came with the video card to install and use it
    *Plus, you'll have to plug the card into the AGP slot (see the guide) and plug one of the power cables into the card itself.
