hi there, not sure if this is the right area to post this if not please put it in the correct area.

I have a MCP61PM-AM HT200 Motherborad with phoenix award bios version V0.11
i have bought an ATI Radeon HD 4550 PCIE 2.0 card to put into it but when i turn the computer on the screen goes bonkers with colours then goes blank(Black for couple of seconds) then eventual bonkers with a different set of colour - so i cant even see the bios start-up screen unless i unplug the hd 4550 card and use the onboard again.

first set of colours -

Second set of colours -

no the card just plugs into the pci -E slot ive unplugged and replugged the card into the slot with the same problem - the only thing i can think of at the moment is that the card is not compatible with the mobo or visa versa
thanks for the promt reply

Photobucket links do not work (Personally I think photobucket is terrible, use imageshack). However, if you're seeing random colours at the startup screen and your board does actually support cards like the HD4550, then it's probably a faulty card. Try taking it back. If the replacement does the same, then perhaps the board can't accept modern graphics cards, it is very old.

Unfortunately i bought this on ebay and i believe that the returns policy limit has passed, but i will see if a friend has a pci slot on there pc and let you know the results if they do.

Edit:

sorry i have taken so long, i have just been in contact with my friend and it turns out they couldnt get the card to work, so it is a faulty card.
thanks for helpful replies
