nvidia 7800 wont work

[hollywood]

i bought one of these and tried putting in my dell dimension 2350. my friend said that the shiny metal part on the bottom looks like it has lines because you cut at the lines if it doesnt fit. so i carefully cut off the bottom so that it fit into 1 of the slot things in my computer. now it doesnt work. did i cut it wrong? id post pics, but no camera. is there anyway i can fix this? thanks for any help.

hm............................................

now the rest of the system wont turn on and it beeps a lot. is this fixable???????????????

You can't cut anything on the hardware. :eek:

Funny, you just blew around a few hundred dollar's, or your friend. What a waste of money.

ROFLMAO ROFLAMO!!!! Omg if you say is true your so dumb and so is your friend no offense lol.

Make sure you take it back to a guy who needs glasses. CUTTING THE CARD WILL PERMENTLY SCREW IT OVER, AND VOIDS ANY WARRANTY.

Were you drunk at the time you did this?

OMFG are you that dum, Are you smoking something you must be. PCI and PCI-E are totally different y in the world did you cut it to make it fit. I so shock that it even fix. You most likey killed your pc man. a 600 dollar card cut to make fit in a PCI slot is that waht you are going to say to Dell. And teh manufater from that 7800GTX card. You really must of been smoking something or you must be really dum to do sucha a thing really.

Dell 2350's don't even have an AGP slot. Only PCI slots.

The 7800 is PCI Express only.

The 2350 isn't even worth the price of that card... ROFLMAO!!!
Sorry, you're out of luck!!!
