AIW8500 question

[Chartec]

I have the card in a slot A 800 system, older Ebox motherboard, and the picture shakes and is jagged.
I traded the video card with the same card out of another system and the card is good.
I am thinking the epox board might not give it enough power.
I also noticed that there appears to be a power connector on the video card for a floppy style power cord.
Anyone know about this connector or my problem?

Did you hook up the power to the "floppy style" connector? I do not have this card, but I would think if it is there, it should be hooked up. I know all of the newer video cards need power straight from the PS. You may want to RTFM about the power connector.

I haven?t tried yet and the documents don?t mention the connector.
Trying it without knowing could get expensive.
I could see ending up with a fried video card and AGP slot.

Do you have an AIW 8500 or is it the 8500dv?

 

[Chartec]

It is a AIW8500DV.

Here is the setup and installation tips. Here is aa explanation for the use of the power connector.

Read through that, maybe some help there. If you're still having trouble...ask away.
