400W ?!

Ok, so, do you know where i can get those basics requirements that way
i'll be able to know exactly how much amp. i need in +12V, etc... ?

I don't want to buy an hyper high PSU for nothing.

Very old card
I would think 250watt is more than enough
Smiffy

For a _RADEON_ 7500? I think you are confusing ATI and nvidia. A Radeon
7500 is about 6 generations old and by modern standards has minuscule power
consumption.

A decent 250 watt power supply should be plenty for it unless there's
something the OP is not telling us.

Nothing special here. I just have 2 HDD SCSI (IBM 4.5 & 9 GB), a DC390U2W
card, a SCSI CDROM. USB mouse. PS2 keyboard. Celeron400. All 4 ram bank
are used up (327MB)... And it works perfectly with an old UTNT2 but when i
plug in the radeon 7500 it goes on reboot after reboot by itself,
sometimes after several seconds, sometimes it doesnt't even bypass the
complete bios check.

I would then doubt that 250W ratting. Get an Antec 300W and you will be
fine.

Sounds more like a faulty R7500 card then a PSU problem.

There is a good chance you bumped a ram card while installing the video
card. My bh6 is touchy that way and the fix is to reinstall the ram. I
suggest before you change any hardware that you remove the ram and then
reinstall one stick. If it works, reinstall the rest of the ram.

The RAM is ok as i'm currently using that board with the UTNT2 back in.

But that reminds me of a little change i did to the settings of
the BIOS: i put the PCI latency to 32 (witch was set to 64 before). That
worked perfectly for the rest of the hardware, but i don't know for the
radeon 7500.

At how much latency this card is supposed to work in the bus ?
I've tried to find that information but haven't succeeded.

No, i didn't thought doing it. Thank you for the idea.
I'll try out.

Loading the default bios settings should set the PCI latency to the proper
level.

Well no, in fact after quite a bunch of research it will restore the
motherboard BIOS default which is almost always 32. No proper level, just
a default one.
Furthermore it seems that the ATI video cards are setting up their latency
by themselves, overwritting the MB BIOS.

So the problem does not come from that parameter.

I'll try to test it with a more powerfull PSU and on another MB, just in
the case of a simple incompatibility, but it seems that i'm heading
towards a material fault, i don't know a physical shock or something.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

Well, the websites of ATI, Nvidia and all the card manufacturer usually
don't list a requirement but a minimum recommend setup. Because even if
they list a 300W PSU as minimum it doesn't mean the card stops working
with a 250W PSU if the overall power consumption (which also depends on
the mainboard, the PSU, number and type of HDs, RAM, and much more)
isn't higher than what the PSU can deliver...

> The current P.S. is 250w (ATX of course).

If you don't run a high end dual Opteron computer with this PSU it's
probably enough, the Radeon 7500 has a very low power consumption and
only draws a few watts. I once had a Radeon 7500 64MB in an old P3-600
which had a 210W PSU and it also ran fine.
