Asus Ares - HELP!

[Misklahr]

Hi!

I bought a new Asus Ares graphics card and installed a new Hale 90
I tried to run my system with Hale 90, and it worked correctly.

When I tried to install the Ares card, it worked. When I wanted to install the drivers, I uninstalled everything that had been with CCC to do, and restarted the computer.

Then a red light befan to shine on the Ares and the fan started going to the max, and I got no picture.

What should I do?

Tried to reset cmos, but still the same.
My XFX 5870 is still working.

My computer:
Antec 1200
Q9550
Corsair H70
XFX Radeon 5870 (/ Asus Ares)
150Gb VelociRaptor 10000rpm
Asus P5QD TURBO
Corsair Twin2x4096 8500C5
EDIT: Hale 90 1000W (http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/power_supplies/hale90_1000w)

Sounds like the PSU cant give enough power for the Ares.

Forgot to mention that it was the Hale 90 1000w http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/power_supplies/hale90_1000w
So that is not the problem I think

You should reseat it, and blow out the PCI-e slot first with a can of compressed air or air compressor. Make sure that all the pins are in the slot and all the extra power cables connected firmly. Also try different video outputs.

It might be if you also are running the 5870 in crossfire with it. I think the q9550 uses alot of power at 4GHz.

I don't think he's running Crossfire because his motherboard only has 1 PEG slot.

I have tried to switch between the two GPUs many times, so I don't think that the PCI-E slot is the problem. Also, I have connected the power cables many times.

I have only one PCI-E slot and have resetted my BIOS, no OC anymore

Correct
