I got a 30" running off of a radeon 2400 hd agp card and there are 2 things I need help with (the card says it needs a 270 power supply, recommends a 300 but I have a 250 and I think this my be the reason for my problems). One problem is I try to run my 30" and my 20" off of the card at once (the card has dual dvi output) and when I run both of them the 30" shows maybe 1/3 of the desktop area and I only am able to set the screen res to around 2000x1500 and u have to scroll around to view the rest of the desktop, when I am just using the 30" by it self it runs fine at 2500x1600. 2nd problem is that When I try to play a game (medieval 2: total war) on the 30" when the game starts up the screen goes black and from there the only thing I can do is manually shut down the comp with the power button. Is this all cuz of the power supply issue or something else?

You already have/had a thread on this and the suggestion was not to try to run two massive monitors on one card with the PSU you have. Get a new PSU and possibly unplug one of the monitors.
