x1600 problems

[MastaFlyMason]

I got a used x1600 from my brother for Christmas. He bought it off eBay, and I don't know what the deal is. I am pretty sure it is DOA, I just wanted a second opinion. When I first hooked it up to my PC the BIOS logo was distorted. I switched video cards, and it worked fine. I thought it might be my PSU (300watt) so I tried my brothers PC (he has a 350 watt) and it looked like it was fine until he installed the drivers and then it was like a slide show. I plugged in the 4 pin connector in back.

PC Specs:

AMD Sempron 2800+ OC'd to 2.2GHz
648MB PC2700 Samsung RAM
MSI Neo K8T Motherboard
10 Gigabyte 5400RPM HD

I know this PC isn't the best, but I built it for $100

Thanks!

If its having issues before you even hit windows, its doa for sure.

Never buy used cards off of ebay.. bad news there.
