Is it one of those AGP versions that requires an external power connector? If yes, then make sure that is in. ALso try re-seating the card in the slot. One more thing, I hope you are not putting a PCI-E card into an AGP slot or vice versa?

no no no lol, its an AGP card and im putting it into a agp slot lol, yes i connect the outer power and tried reaseating it and all sorts and still nothing, i am running my old fx5500 here and its quite depressing lol

Hmm

Weird, have you tried resetting the BIOS? I know it sounds stupid, but it could be a setting in the BIOS that's causing this problem.

Well if it doesnt work in any other computer then i'd have to say its broken

 

[deankenny]

o dear lol, looks like a new card then, i was looking at the 6800 is this better than the 6600gt both at stock?

It would be slightly, but i would go with the 6800GT if you can afford it.
