I just bought a Sapphire Radeon HD5450 DDR3 1GB video card
My Problem:
When I installed the video card and turned on the PC, it will not continue to boot, it will pause at the BIOS screensaver and will not proceed to the windows loading screen. It will stuck and hangs up. I'm pretty sure I'd inserted the card correctly. Then I decided to disconnect the SATA Data Cable attached to the motherboard and reboot the PC and it works fine.
I have 2 hard drives in my computer, 1 is IDE HDD and the other, SATA HDD.
-Tried disconnecting the IDE HDD and connecting the SATA HDD and still the problem occurred.
-Disconnected the DVD ROM and the IDE HDD to give enough wattage to the video card and the SATA HDD cause I thought it could be a power supply issue, however, it didn't work.(i have a 500-watt PSU)
-Inserted the SATA Data Cable in the different SATA headers on the motherboard but nothing happens.
-Replaced a new SATA Data Cable but still didn't work.
Lastly, I installed back my old video card which is Nvidia 9500gt DDR2 1GB and it works fine with all the components attached including the SATA HDD.
What could be the possible reason behind this problem? Could it be the video card and SATA HDD having conflict?
Motherboard Model: Intel D945PLNM
I will appreciate your help. Thanks
