Well, like the subject says... I don't have much experience with computers and I am trying to upgrade my graphics card. I have an HP a562n, mostly stock. It has a GeForce FX5200 NV34 8x AGP right now. I have intel 3.0 ghz proc. I tried to upgrade my card before with a 7200 BFG??? and it did not turn out well. The computer would run for a little bit, then the monitor would go black. I couldn't get it to work right, so I took it back.
1.) Since I have an AGP card right now, does my new card have to be AGP as well? accroding to HP.com I have 2 available PCI slots.
2.) How do I know if it is a power supply problem? I don't think that my current power supply has molex output?!?
Any ideas to help me understand what I am dealing with would be great.
