Geforce 2 GTS power question
Hello,
I have a Visiontek Geforce 2 GTS and I know that these cards consume a lot of power. The problem is that since I installed this card, I've been getting continuous reboots and just minutes ago it got to the point that the computer would't boot. So I decided to unplug the fan of the video card and since I have a blower fan right next to the video card I figured out that the video card fan was unnecesary. The computer worked fine since I unplugged the fan. I want to know if I should upgrade my existing power supply, since I am planning to add future upgrades. My setup is: Amd Athlon 850 slot A stunderbird with MS-6167 motherboard Promise ultra tx2 controller with IBM 7200 RPM UDMA100 HDD The Visiontek video card Sigma designs holywood+ decoder SB Live mp3+ 5.1 sound card Samsung DVD ROM Creative 8432 CD-RW USR gaming modem Two blower fans Any help appreciated.

Dude, definitely upgrade your power supply and PLUG that video card fan back in QUICK!
Don't risk it dude, it would be a shame for that card to fry!
