Hi all, NVIDIA Warning?

Hi all, I have just put my new parts together, here is the spec -

9800 GTX
4 GIG Crucial Ballistix
Asus P5Q Pro
WD 640 G 32 mb
620W Corsair Modular

Everything is working, powersupply is on, all fans are on etc, but when I load my PC up after I installed a grahpics card driver, It comes up with this -

Everything is connect to the PSU right, (I think? )

Thanks!

Does it need two power connectors? my GTX does.

VaderDSL · 18 Dec 2008 at 19:02

you'll probably need to plug in an 8pin power connector? I tihnk it's the 8 pin on the 9800

Falconik · 18 Dec 2008 at 19:02

Ermmm, how do I know if it does? lol ^^?

Both an 8-pin and a 6-pin right? Not just one or the other?

I think, All I have plugged into my motherboard is a 8 -Pin?

Aha I guess I wasn't clear enough and I also got it wrong myself doh, sorry about that. There is an 8pin going into your motherboard sure, but you will also need two 6pin pci-express connectors (which your PSU should definitely have) plugged directly into the graphics card.

The Halk · 18 Dec 2008 at 20:28

You should have an 8 pin aux into the motherboard.

You should have 2 extra connectors plugged into the graphics card too. Either 2 6 pins or 1 8 pin and a 6 pin, depending on what the card is supposed to get.

Ohhh, ye I have the 8 - PIN into my motherboard, and those 2 other things which are plugged into my graphics card? Would swapping them around help or?

RJC · 18 Dec 2008 at 20:35

I think there not interchangable.

Does the card have 6 or 8 pin pwer or combination of both!
Also make sure they are firmly in place on the psu & gpu.

my 9800gtx only has 2 6 pin connectors.

on the back of your graphics card next to the DVI ports, is the LED red of Green?
