What is wrong with my graphic card?

Question

I had a new computer built a few days ago. My graphic card started acting up yesterday. It use to work before, boots up alright. But now, every time I try to boot the computer up, the system restarts, and the graphic card doesn't boot on the second computer start. 

SPECS:
CPU: Intel i7 930
MoBo: ASUS P6T
PSU: 650w
Graphic Card: ASUS EAH 4650 (ATI Radeon HD 4650) (Low Profile, doesn't have power connector.)

The card still gets warm during the first bootup, so the electricity is going through, but not the second time it starts. Is it because the graphic card is incompatible, or fried? Not a problem with the PSU or the Mobo. I've tried using the jumper on my mobo to erase the CMOS settings, but no luck.

P.S. The mobo doesn't have a integrated graphic solution...

Any help?

P.P.S. It's a new home-built computer. I didn't even put a operating system in yet! Without the graphic card, I can't do anything. So do not tell me that I need to change my operating system or remove my old graphic card! Please!

i had this exact same problem.

what brand/model is your PSU.

i bought a cheap one, 700w for my old system, and had this exact same problem, the computer would boot fine, but when i restarted, my 8800GTX would just shut down and beep loudly (yours probably doesnt have an alarm or out would get it aswell) which ment that the power had failed.

you need a better PSU, not a more powerful one, a better one. something like a corsair.

Either the card is bad and dying or the slot it's in is dying

Only way you can tell for sure is to try another card you know for sure works
