Nah, I think the video card draws more power than the PSU can give.

That was something I had to watch with my old PSU--I explicitly picked a low wattage Video Card so it wouldn't overload it.

Figuring his is old, it probably is also too weak to handle that monster video card he has.

Edit: Essentially, the 4 pin plug isn't the cause (unless your CPU goes above 130W) but rather the total power consumption > than your PSU can give.

Your CPU, however, looks like it could potentially also go above 130W.

Me and Aerakin use less power, so it isn't an issue for us.

How many watts does that old dog have, anyway?

Mine can do 430W.

More or less. I think it's less the lack of an 8pin but rather, your CPU + GPU overwhelmed the PSU.

Looks like our advice worked well. Hope it's stable.

Mine has been for about 3 weeks now.

Run the free version of 3DMark06. Tell me what your score is. I'm curious to see how much better it is over the machine I just built for my wife. I can't get a Windows score from it, it crashes that window whenever you try to scan. My laptop gets a 5.1 score, which isn't bad considering its a laptop. I'll tell you my 3DMark06 score after you post yours

You don't have to publish them, just post the final score total. Mine was 7800. My wife's was 12,000.

Usually after it runs all the tests it takes you to their website with your score.
