Help. No pic with new EVGA e-GeForce FX 5200. Whats' wrong?

[Harvey]

I got this on the one day Fry's special. Don't laugh. It was free after rebate, and it's better than the old TNT2 DDR I'm running, now.

Anyhow, I plugged it in, and all I get is a black screen -- No video, even at startup, so I can't even see the BIOS.

It has a small two pin connector that may be for a power connection, but the documenation with it doesn't include a diagram, and it didn't include any power connector cable.

Not sure wazzup, here. My old vid card is working in the same system.

System:

DFI AD77 Infinity
Athlon 2400+
2 GB PC2700
Win XP Pro SP2

Any help appreciated.

hmm, 2 pin power connection on the back? i would think it would be a standard 4 pin connector. i dont think power was required for any fx series except 5700 and higher. correct me if im wrong.

my 5200 'ultra' (lols) had a molex on the back that had to be plugged in. pics?

Are you mistaking it for the fan connector... that one is fanless

 

[Harvey]

The molex is on the card, near the edge connector. It looks like a fan connector, but, as secretanchitman said, it looks like it could be for a fan, and there is none on this card.

So, I cleared the CMOS, and it worked.
