It all started with no video from my Radeon 4890. One of the 4 red led lights was not lighting on it. I replaced it with a Geforce 9800GT and it worked for a few hours then quit. So replaced the
motherboard then nothing would come on. So replaced the power supply and not things come
on fans, cpu fan, harddrive etc but still no video even just off the motherboard. So
About the only thing left is the Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66Ghz 3MB 1066MHz processor.
Its a G31M3-F mATX motherboard.
What do you guys think??? This would be my first time having a processor going bad.
Ive had Pentium Pros run for years and years.
Does this sound like the Processor went Bad?
Help want to get this thing running again. I now also have a new Geforce GTX550Ti with
2GB GDDR5 Im going to put in once I get this thing going again.
Hope you can help?

“Minimum System Power Requirement (W)* : 400W”
…..
Try the 4890 with a different computer that has at least a 500 watt PS – if the original PS damaged it while failing, it won’t work with another computer either.
…..
The Ultra LSP550 has two PCI-E 6 pin (male) connectors for graphics card power
Does the Ultra Raptor 500 have two of those ?
In any case, DO NOT use a PCI-E 6 pin Y wiring adapter cable – a female to two male connectors – with the 4890, or any graphcs card that has two power sockets – that won’t supply enough current.
Use two built into the PS wiring PCI-E 6 pin connectors, or when the power supply wiring has only one, get yourself a dual molex 4 pin to to one PCI-E 6 pin Y wiring adapter for the second power socket on the card. Dual molex (male pins), as in, they plug into two spare larger (female pins) molex drive power connectors from the PS, to a PCI-E 6 pin (male connector).
