I just bought a new motherboard and processor and this new geforce card. My motherboard and processor seem to be working fine on my 300 w Antec power supply. When I have my voodoo 3 3000 this system is working perfect, however once I stick in my new geforce, my monitor doesn't get a signal and my computer just beeps at me 5 times. Is it because there is not enough power?

Thank you, and sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Thought you video experts might have had/heard this problem before and could help me. ;)

We need your system specs. One thing you might check is to see if the video card is properly seated into the AGP slot.

Yes it's in properly.

Thing is my friend just bought a new system and a different geforce and has the same prob. I know the card works because I placed it in my athlon 750 mhz and it worked fine.

check your 3.3v (draws 6A) and 5v (draws 2A) settings. if you are underpowered there it may be a problem.

Alright, well my first thought was right. It was the power supply. Thanks everybody
