Does the 5770 require 2x 6-pin connections? I'm not sure, but maybe worth checking

Try the latest drivers from ATI.

ahhhh i didnt realise there is a six pin connector at the back of the gfx but ther is a pin in the middle of a connector i have with two 4pins attached but one pin is missing on the 6 is just a hole the other 5 have metal pins will this work?

wtf u on about?

The above post makes 0 sence.

You require a 6pin PCI-E power cable... It will be a simple 6PIn or a 6Pin with 2 extra pins on it that are detachable.

DO NOT CONNECT A 4 PIN or 8PIN MOBO ATX POWER CABLE OR IT WILL GO BANG!

lolol yh that last post made no sense! all sorted anyway im a noob and didnt even see the six pin connector on the back of the card...

Lol, I thought it may of needed 2 6-pins on the assumption you had plugged at least one in. At least it's all sorted now
