Installed GTX 460 & PC just dies:(

mmm could be PSU - does whole PC turn off ?

I had similar queries with my GTX480 and my Tagan 700 U-25- which is similar really - has 4x20A rails - but had run the 480 off the 2xPCI-E. Note the 2xPCI-E are off the same rail I think ...

although I have/had some issues with the 480 - in that it won't work at stock volts (leading me to belive 12V rail may be drooping a bit under load) - it wasn't enough to do anything like shut the PSU down

I queried the experts on Jonnyguru PSU forum, and they've said if you over-load one of the rails the PSU will shut-down - well if I'm not saturating 20A with a 480 - I doubt you are with a 460

that said if you PC is turning off completely could well be PSU

not sure
 
I have just had an email back from the chap I bought it off. It was RMA'd to Gigabyte for exactly the same problem so It looks like they didnt fix it properly after all. Thanks for all the replies chaps, im returning the card for a refund.
