radeon 7200 problem

i've just brought a radeon 7200 graphics card. For the first few days the card worked great, i installed all the latest drivers and overclocked the card slightly.
However a few days ago i booted up my system to get a blank screen! The moniter didnt kick in although it sounded like the pc was loading up ok. I quickly replaced the 7200 with my old geforce 2 AGP card. When i rebooted it worked fine.

my system:

764mb ram
windows xp
40gb harddrive
1.1ghz amd duron processor

help!

Just try putting the Radeon back in. You wouldn't be the first who didn't actually seating it right, which makes it lose contact after a few days.

Is it a PCI card or a AGP card?

Hmm, sounds like your video card is messed up lol! pretty obviouse I know.

I dont think it would have anything to do with overclocking it. Why would you OC a 7200 Any way?

Take it back.
