If you posted your specs it would make it alot easier to troubleshoot...

First thing I would look would be is it seated in correctly.

Then, I would look to see if the card requires another molex or other power dongle to work.

Third, I would check and see if your PSU has enough power to run the card.

SiS 650 chipset with integrated video
512 SDram
pentium 4 2.0GHZ
realtek AC97 audio

the card is seated right. i have 2 video cards one is a geforce4 mx 420 the other is a geforce fx 5200. i can get the geforce4 installed but once i power done my computer its not installed anymore.

Do you have the integrated video disabled in your bios? That could cause conflicts if it's still on.

i cant disable it through bios so i disabled through hardware manager.
