I've just bought an 8800GT graphics card, and am rebuilding my computer, but it won't boot. This is my setup:
AMD 3800+ CPU (not from my previous set-up)
Inno3d 8800GT
2gb RAM
450w PSU
MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard
I've got dual-boot for Vista and XP. I can get to BIOS and everything fine, and select which OS I want to boot with, but Vista has a BSOD just as it starts the loading bar, and similarly for XP. However XP (but not Vista) will boot in safe mode. I've tried another hard-drive with XP installed, and the same happens.
The only thought I've had is that perhaps the PSU isn't powerful enough, is this what would happen if that were the case?
Any help with the problem would be greatly appreciated.
