I bought a used HD3850 AGP - stupid move, I know, but it was fairly cheap ($50) and I can get my money back if it turns out to be DOA.

Hello, I recently bought a Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X 2GB card and installed it into my system. However, on startup, the system fails to POST several times before making a successful attempt. I suspect a PSU, which is 500W but this is quoted as an acceptable system requirement. I also tried with a...
