Hi All

Bought a brandnew 9600gt to upgrade from myold 7300gs. in anticipation i also upgraded to a 750w psu with extra PCIE power supply. everything worked finr after installation, updating driver and adjusting resolution and specs. but only for about half an hour or so, got an error message first saying graphics card doesn't receive enough power or there is a system error. after another five minutes ca 50 error boxes poped up saying there is a run dll error and NvCpl.dll failed to initialize. After that comp either froze or run on mimnimal performance.
Anyone an idea of what's wrong?

Windows XP MCE, intel 2 core 2*3ghz, 2gb ram, 750watt psu, sweex 9600gt 512

What's the PSU model?
Did you uninstall the old drivers?

Yepp, here it is:
+3.3V = 28A, +5V = 30A, +12V1 = 20A, +12V2 = 20A, -12V = 0.3A, +5VSB = 2.5A
750W

well the only thing i can think of now is the 9600 needs at least 26 amps how is your computer connected? do you have another pci-e or a 2 molex to pci-e adapter?

Unfortunately not, but where would i connect it to graphics card even if I had one? Should I give this PSU back and look for one with +12V and 26 or bigger A?
