I have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU with an Intel DG33TL motherboard and a Silverstone Strider 600W ST60F PSU. I got a new BFG GTX 285 for my Core i7 920 machine and wanted to install my Saphire Radeon 4870 1GB graphics card that was working with the i7 machine in the Core 2 Quad machine.
When I turn it on it sits at the Intel motherboard screen and never continues to boot. It says to hit F2 to enter BIOS, but hitting F2 does nothing. Taking the graphics card out and using the onboard Video will allow it to boot like normal.
I will install the card in my i7 machine to test it to see if that's the problem. But I have a feeling the PSU might be the problem. Although 600W should be enough. It is rated to do up to 42A combined from the four 12 volt rails. I have 2 fans, 2 hard drives, 1 optical drive and 4 sticks of RAM in the system.
I seem to have really bad luck with computers. Any suggestions.
