GTX 280 Problem .....

Honestly mate it's your PSU, don't use the the 6pin to 8 pin adapter because I had the same problem as you. I bought a Corsair 750w with a straight 8 pin & 6 pin connection and it was fine.

You can send it back for another card if you want but it will be a waste of your time.
