As the thread says, on loading up a game, the error message reads "Not enough power going to graphics card" - any ideas?

Aint got a clue, oh hang on i may be clutching at straws here, but i think, im not sure mind so its not gospel that you do not have enough power going to your graphics card.

No wait, doesn't mean that at all, means yer CPU is a gonner, id get it replaced tbh.

What gfx card and psu have you got?

If the card needs a dedicated molex connector, make sure it's connected properly and not shared with other components.
