x1550 power consumption

Hi guys, i recently bought an ATI radeon x1550 video card 256 MB dual port(dvi and vga). My power supply unit is of 230 Volts. I just want to know if its ok to put this card in my computer looking at the power supply?
The reason i m asking this is because i bought this card a week ago and when i installed it, the screen worked fine just for 3-5 mins and then everything became blurry and i messy. When i removed the card, it became very hot. So i replaced the card from the shop but i m afraid to put this new card again in my computer.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Hi Dinesh

I would test the card on another system if you can or take it back to be tested.

Hi Leslie, That card was already faulty hence it didnt work. What i wanted to know is will this card work with 230 V power supply?

Dinesh the only way you are going to know is to test it, if the card is installed into a 230v system and it does not work - you have your answer.

OK we are trying it now and i have crossed my fingers. Lets hope it work.
BTW, i'm Dinesh's wife. Thanks for helping us.

Hi Kavita, welcome to the forums.:D

Hey its working perfect. But i switched off my computer after 10 mins and touched the video card. Its mild hot. Its actually not heating up but its warm. Is it normal?

Hi Kavita, yes that is perfectly normal. Good job. I am glad its working.:D
