I didn't have a big enough power supply so I put my VisionTek 4850 w/ 512 into an Antec box with a 380W 80-Certified PSU. Also cannibalized other parts:
Biostar MCP6P-M2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 / nForce 430
AMD Sempron LE-1100 Sparta 1.9GHz 256KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 45W Single-Core Processor
2x1GB DDR2
It booted, I installed Windows 7 32-bit, I moved the box next to my big LCD TV.
Now, after I inserted the dvi to hdmi converter into th e 4850 and tried to boot it beeps repeatedly. Sometimes it misses a beep but when it does a pair of small red LED's on the video card light up for a moment.
Is this an indication that the PSU just isn't enough?
