9800 Pro Bootup Problem

I recently replaced my 9200SE video card with a 9800 Pro which works great except for one thing. I completely power down my computer each night. When I get up in the morning and turn the system on, it POSTS normal and I see my Asus motherboard logo screen. Then the monitor goes out and nothing! It's like the computer freezes at that point. I then turn the computer off and back on and it boots up and works fine. I've had 2 other video cards in this system and I've never had this problem with either of them. Does anyone have any clue what might be wrong.

You have enough power from you power supply powering your computer? You need a minimum of 300 watts I believe. I have 350 watts....
 
I have an Antec 430W True Power. After I have had the computer on for a little while I can shut it down, come back latter and fire it up and it works fine. It's like the video card needs to be warmed up first.
 
Make sure that the power connector is all the way in.

I loosened mine when cleaning up my wiring mess and had a similar issue ;)
 
do not share the your video card's power with any other device like hdd and stuff. be sure that the molex connector connects to it alone
 
yep leave one molex connecter just for the 9800pro also yea make sure u have over 350w power supply most likely that might be your problem if u have somethin bellow that
 
That's probably the problem. The old generic 350W PS I put in now is running fine. I'm almost done modding out another generic 350W PS that is going to be used to power all the fans and lights so when I put the Antec back in I'll make sure to give everything it's own power line.
 
Well, it's official. It's the Antec 430W True Power supply. When I put my meter in one of the power doogles(?) and boot up, the 5 volts is dropping down as low as 3.9 volts. Will replacing the 5 volt regulator fix this problem?
