The card works with the newest bios!!! The problem now is that there is no display output... ~~There is also no on-board video.~~

Edit: I lied, the vga for the on-board video was covered. I am getting video through that now.
Edit 2: I think I got it, installing drivers now. The bios update reset the settings.

Glad you got it sorted.

Load failsafe defaults in BIOS? I dunno, that's weird. Does it work if you skip the riser, and plug in directly?

The card does not fit, that's why I got the riser. However the old graphics card works fine, I am going to work on updating the bios today but if I do it from windows it says the computer is not ready to flash or something. I will try the DOS version.

Faulty riser?

I tested the riser with the unpowered x300 card that came with the dell. Worked fine.

I have just confirmed that the computer does stay on when I remove the extender but leave the graphics card powered. That is what I find weirdest about the whole thing.

Also, I have tried removing hard drive and DVD drive power, no luck.

I have replaced an old graphics card in a dell dimension e510 with a 5970 and a riser. I also put in a 600 watt PSU. The computer starts and the lights come on but it almost immediately turns off. If I remove one of the pci-e power chords the computer starts but the graphics card obviously does not work. I have tested the graphics card in another computer. I have tested the riser with the old x300 and it works fine. I have tried using molex for one of the power connectors. I'll have to check again but I'm pretty sure the computer starts withought the riser in and all pci-e power connected... I have also tried the riser powered and unpowered.

I feel like I am out of options and I don't know what to do...

Edit: I should also mention that I was able to run the 5970 and a gtx 670 on my main gaming rig with a 750 watt psu.

Sounds like your Dell is infected. Do a search on the internet for constant reboot windows.

It never even has a chance to post. Also, I can boot into windows fine with the old graphics card.
