Hey all,
So i got my newly built system up and running, and the video card shows an error and tells me that it won't be working at full capacity due to the lack of power. I checked at an online power calculator and it told me I do have enough power in my system... can someone please help?
My PSU is 550W, and the video card is a 8600GTS (512MB). On the video card's system requirements it says 400W.
PSU: ROSEWILL|RP550-2 (550 W)
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe NF570SLI AM2
CPU: AMD|A64 X2 5200+ 2.6G AM2 2M R
Memory: 1G|TRANS DDRII 800 JM800QLJ-1G
Video Card: EVGA 512-P2-N773-AR 8600GTS 512
I've also got my old IDE 60gb HD installed, along with my old DVD burner, IDE as well.
Case: SUNBEAM|IC-TR-BA BLK
I also have one IDE hard drive and one DVD burner hooked up to the system.
is it possible that I just hooked some power cables up in an inefficient way?
