I'm updating my current computer with Ati 6850 GPU and Corssair CX500 power supply. Now that I've installed both components my screen stopped working. When I turn my screen on it'll show normal Dell computers etc text and logo but goes to sleep after that and the power light goes from green to orange. When I unplug the screen it says various thing of self test failure as if it was having the feed but was unable to make it work properly.
After few tries to fix the problem I put my old GPU back, but same results. Screen goes black after manufacturer logo. I put new GPU back and ensured that it's properly connected into motherboard and having the power it needs, alas still all engulfing blackness.
My main hypothesis is that my screen dates back to 2004 and might not be able work with this new GPU. Thenagain, it stopped working with my old GPU after the new power supply which brings us to my other hypothesis that I've missed some connection. Since the new power supply contains more wires it's well possible that a wrong cord is hanging lose.
Any suggestions, tips and advice are welcome, since I have no clue how to proceed.
