Hey
Can someone please help me cause my pc nearly went out for the bin men last night after much frustration.. 
Bought a new graphic card Nvidia Geforce 7300GT 256mb, put it in last night connected the extra power supply which was needed and this happened
But when the power is disconnected from the card, then i get a message saying i should connect the power cable, and cause the power power isn't connected then the card will work at a lower power setting to maintain stabilty
i have a 400w power supply which runs
motherboard/fan
2 cooling fans on case
2 hard drives
1 foppy drive
1 cd drive
spoketo a relative last night and the power supply is more than enough they beleave
any help would be great, bought it to use at full power not 75%
Cheers
Phil |

The power suply is not enough,other wise you had not that problem
try to give the card a single power cable not from a shared cable[meaby from floppy drive you dont need a floppy] |

try to use a seperate power cord not one used by cd or hd as it needs uniterupeted power also check if there is a power socket on Motherboard as its also needed some times. Can we have M/board spec and Graphics card spec windows ver and driver for Gfx
Just as a test turn off pc and unplug Floppy and cd and if you can 1 hd power cords. just to check your Power supply is up to it DO NOT UNPLUG WHILE PC IS RUNNING.
