Okay i got my new power supply which is a coolmaster 460w Plugged everythign in and it works but now when i get to windows it gives me this error that says my video card has inssuficient power and is running at a lower quality now as a result.
What gets me as this should be more than plenty power. I downloaded all the latest drivers and updated my bios.

What hardware do you have in your computer right now? What kind of processor, how many hard drives/optical drives, how many case fans and anything else like PCI cards and stuff.
Stupid question but you did plug in the PCI-E power cable from your power supply into the the video card right? |

That is weird, 460 watts should be more than enough like you said.
Is this the PSU you bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171046 Under the specs it says it has 18 amps for the +12v rail. If you look here at this video card which is like the one you have: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130082 It says under the specs that it requires a PSU with a +12v rail of 26 amps. However your PSU has 2 +12v rails both at 18 which gives you 36 total but I don't know if the card requires only 1 +12v rail at 26 or higher rather than 2 separate ones. It's confusing. This is why it's best not to go cheap on a power supply. |
