    Minimum PSU required for that Graphic card = 450watt

    Plus Quad + Gaming case etc
    AP 500w - you are right on the edge @ peak power!

    Ahhaa now we get a bit more info!

    OK!
    Yeh I was looking at your 5770 card = 450 psu min.

    Anyway have you tried the old card to see if you have been given a duff one?

    How old is PSU?
    You poss need around 18-20 amps on 12v rail
    Does your version 220 need an Xtra 6 pin plugging in?

    the old psu is 350 and the gpu dont need a dedicated power lead so by rights it should work fine

    I'm on my third BFG 220GT. My first one was DOA, not detected and the fan didn't even spin up. The second one worked for a while but then the fan started to buzz and I got artifacts on screen during game play. I returned it and wasn't going to buy another one but they were on sale at a different retailer so i gave it one more try. I think it's been three months now with no problems. If you can, try it in another PC to see if it's the video card or a motherboard problem. If that motherboard has onboard video make sure you check the BIOS setting so it looks at the PCIe slot first.

    Since this is your brothers PC and its a couple of years old he may need to update the motherboard chipset, also since this a PCI Express connection it may not be comatable or may need more power or a pin connection may be damaged.

    I'll try updating his chipset next but i reckon he needs a new MOBO as it is old and it dont say that it is a PCI-E X16 just says PCI-E so may be worth him updating

    Mine didn't show up in device manager either, it didn't show up anywhere. The length of the slot will tell you if its x1, x4, x8 or x16. I think you can put a smaller card in a larger slot but not the other way around. If it's not an x16 slot I don't think the card would fit.
