Steady tone with new 8800GT install

[i6pwr]

Swapped out my aging graphics card and upon startup, I'm getting a constant loud tone, remove the card and it goes away. All fans are turning and I didn't remove anything else except to reposition my HD's to fit this thing.

Any ideas?

AMD Opteron 180
Win XP Pro
3GB RAM

what wattage is your PSU?

[i6pwr]

550W

Per users manual :p ....in addition to PCI slot, there are two power connectors on the opposite end, mine has no such ports. After I posted I went back down to figure it out and there is a 6-pin power port on the opposite end of the DVI ports...kinda flush with the card and I didn't see it initially :o ....it was early.

Works like a champ....for the price, awesome card.
