Hello,

i replaced my gforce2 32mb vram with the gforce 4600 but when i turn the mac on, after 3-4 seconds it powers off. What should i do?

mistake: the previous graphics card is the nVidia GeForce 4mx 32MB

i don't know if it is important but my mdd has installed from the seller an atx power supply.

Thank you.

Hi,

is this an original Apple or flashed graphics card? Do you have a molex power connector plugged into the card?

If a retail Apple card, does your ATX conversion include a +28V rail for the ADC component of the graphics card - this could be the issue.

I have to check all these. The card is original for Macintosh with ADC and DVI ports.
