6600 GT problem!

[SiZcO]

just got my 6600 GT video card today the install was easy but when i install drivers and reboot a message came up saying:


Power Indicator:

Nvidia Powered grahic card is not receving sufficient power.


To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations.


i have a 425W PSU i know everything is alright but what should i do?

have u definitely connected the power cable to the card!!

 

[SiZcO]

didnt see no where on the card where you connect a power cable. and it didnt come with a power cable.

its just a Single AGP card. i installed and its reconized all Drivers are install it works fine just comes up with that message evertime i turn on the computer.



EDIT::well i just open comp back up and found it had a place for a power cable on the card. so i plug it in. and no more message so i guess its ok? heh Thanks for the info.

am thinking of buying this card myself... do you need a special cable for power, or will one off my psu work?

 

[ardy89]

yeah one off ur psu will work fine, is ur psu good enough, i recomen atleast 400watt maybe more!!
