ATI Video Card Power Extension Error

I've been experiencing a power extension error for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro videocard. All the connections have properly been made, and my power supply is more than capable.

My system has worked fine in the past, but now all I get is the power extension error. I haven't touched the cables ever since I installed the card, but for some reason the error keeps popping up. I have tried the card on another computer, same problem.

Make sure the connector (on the card) isn't coming loose...

The connection is very secure and snug but problem still persists.

Does the card work OK in games, like it always has? If it wasn't getting the power it needs it wouldn't run at full speed.
