Hey everyone. Just a little venting/questioning here...I finally got
the last piece of my new computer today (sound card) and got everything
togethor tonight. All the parts are brand new and I'm thinking this
thing will be killer. But when I try to boot the computer, I get an
error from my brand new video card (Sapphire/ATI X800 XT Platinum
Edition) that I have not properly connected the v/c to my power
supply...which I *have* done. Long story short, it seems that the 350
watt power supply that came with my new ANTEC tower isn't nearly big
enough to run everything this PC has in it, and the error from my v/c
is probably because it can't draw enough power. So I'm getting a 500
watt P/S (along with 2 extra case fans) from Newegg.com in the hopes
that the issue will die. Anyone else had this problem?
