Cold Cathode problems

[Noxious]

I recently bought dual cold cathodes and when I hooked them up they both only light up halfway. Before trying to send them back I am wondering if anyone here has any idea what the problem could be. (if it's not just the cathodes anyways)

They are also not very bright.

hmm the thing ur describing happened when jus for kix i hooked up 2 ccfls to the same lead from the inverter so its most likely an inverter prob but it might be psu related

420watt PSU.

What are your specs? Have you had any trouble playing games while the ccfls were on?
