If the card isn't connected and receiving enough power, then yes the new cards won't even boot.

This said are you seeing the card show up on boot. It should show something like:

XFX Technologies
GeForce 7600 GS
256MB PCI-E

when you boot the computer, obviously depends on your manufacturer.. but most have relatively the same boot up sequence.

I have a 7600GS running on 250w even though the recommended is 350w

Are you sure you dissabled onboard GPU? And when you left the BIOS you selected EXIT & SAVE?

Is the card pushed in the slot all the way so the back lock clicks in?

Did you click the 12v power molex in the back of the card (may not be required for a PCI-E 7600)

Did you remember to move the monitor cable from the onboard GPU into the AGP/PCI-E card GPU on the back of your PC?

I bet it was the last one

well when you can tell us more, next time run your post through MS Word or something with a spell checker to get the words you mean.

you might be dyslexic but tbh, there's no reason you can't post through another app to get the actual words you mean. MS Words grammar and spell checker are excellent for catching dyslexic mistakes and auto-correcting them now.

it helps teach you to correct what you're typing if you're seeing it back, believe me that is how i've been able to improve my own spelling.

Does it have its own power socket on end of card that you need to plug one of the leads from power supply into. Maybe you forgot that.

My AGP version of 7600gs does, but even without it the system should still boot.

Can you be a bit more specific on what happens when you try and boot. Do you get anything on screen, do you get beeps from motherboard, etc.

Boo!
