HELP! Ok, I keep getting this error whenever I boot up. Sometimes it'll boot up fine but others, I get the stupid beeping "Make sure the Radeon 9800 Pro is plugged in" error. At first I thought my card was dying, bought another one and I was still getting the same error. Thought it was a PSU problem. I had a Enermax Whisper 330W. So I got a new one. Antec Truepower430. STILL get the error. I thought maybe I'm not giving the AGP slot enough juice. Went into bios and it booted up fine. Then I reboot and get it back once again. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

My system is:
AXP 1400+ @ 2.15 ghz, Abit NF7-S, 2x 256mb Mushkin HiPerf, Sony DVD-rom, Lite-on DVD+/-R, 2x WD 80GB SEs w/ SATA adapters @ Raid 0. Radeon 9800 Pro @ 400/350. A few fans and a dual CCFL. Lemme know if more info is needed.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Yeah, I used their included cable. The only thing on that cable is just a fan, a blower, and the CCFL.
 
Visually inspect the molex connector.. preferably with a magnefying glass... to see if maybe a solder joint came loose a bit. Maybe making and breaking contact. Just a suggestion.

Good luck!
 
Solved! Turns out... the molex adapter that came with the Radeon is at fault. :rolleyes: Thing had me stressed and afraid to reboot my computer. :eek:
