Need power supply min. requirement for rad.7500

Hello all,

I need the minimum requirement for the ati radeon 7500 (QW model, i.e. the
small one i think, not a mobile one) on AGP. It's to try to fix a problem
in a computer i cannot locate but wich seems to have appeared right after
the plug-ins of that card (on an old Abit BX6 mobo).

I know that "somewhere" in the depth of the cave of the ati site there is
such information but i've been unable to find it since friday !

Is someone from here can help me out ?

The current P.S. is 250w (ATX of course).

Best to have a PS at least 400W or above, with 2 (Dual) or 3 fans.

400W ?!

Ok, so, do you know where i can get those basics requirements that way
i'll be able to know exactly how much amp. i need in +12V, etc... ?

I don't want to buy an hyper high PSU for nothing.

Very old card
I would think 250watt is more than enough
Smiffy

For a _RADEON_ 7500? I think you are confusing ATI and nvidia. A Radeon
7500 is about 6 generations old and by modern standards has minuscule power
consumption.

A decent 250 watt power supply should be plenty for it unless there's
something the OP is not telling us.

Nothing special here. I just have 2 HDD SCSI (IBM 4.5 & 9 GB), a DC390U2W
card, a SCSI CDROM. USB mouse. PS2 keyboard. Celeron400. All 4 ram bank
are used up (327MB)... And it works perfectly with an old UTNT2 but when i
plug in the radeon 7500 it goes on reboot after reboot by itself,
sometimes after several seconds, sometimes it doesnt't even bypass the
complete bios check.

Sounds more like a faulty R7500 card then a PSU problem.

I would then doubt that 250W ratting. Get an Antec 300W and you will be
fine.

I think that ATI may not list the PSU requirements because they don't amount
to much. According to:

http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/

the card needs less than 30W.

Assuming that all the hardware is actually working, all that I can suggest
is to make sure that all of the nVidia driver components are gone before
you install the Radeon. Driver Cleaner (http://www.drivercleaner.net/ )
might help.


Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

There is a good chance you bumped a ram card while installing the video
card. My bh6 is touchy that way and the fix is to reinstall the ram. I
suggest before you change any hardware that you remove the ram and then
reinstall one stick. If it works, reinstall the rest of the ram.
