I installed a Firewire/IEEE 1394 card on my Windows XP Dell just yesterday. Upon first installing the card, the computer responded just fine, and video transferred normally.
However, I tried using the computer tower with a different monitor today, and when I turn the computer on, the monitor acts as if the tower is off, or idle. The button stays orange, instead of green.
In addition to the monitor not responding, I've found that the tower boots up for a few seconds, shuts off, then boots up as it normally would.
I have checked the wiring time and time again, and have made numerous attempts at booting up the computer. It has had no problems prior to this.
I'm assuming that it's an issue with the card. If it is, what needs to be done to fix it? Or if it is not an issue with the card, what could it be instead?
Also, could it just be because I used it with a different monitor? Someone I know suggested that. It doesn't really make much sense to me, but I thought I would at least ask.
