Possible faulty graphics card.

X850 is PCI ex
X800 is AGP

why upgrade anyway X800 is nearly as good as X850

I think you got an AGP board and bought an PCI ex card

Will the card even plug in if it was?

Nah thats wrong, X850 and X800 are both available in PCI-e and AGP.

Does sound like the card is D.O.A. :cry:

My X800 pro died

. It was a good card. I put it thru hell with BF2. Long live the X800!

the x850 needs an extreamly large amount of power to run, ATI states u need at least a 450Watt PSU in your system but preferably more

It would still boot up as the card would be running in 2d mode and only using a small amount of power.
