Hello, It proved that my first card was faulty so I got a new card back via RMA, from evga, and it seems to be working ok now (all's good, temperatures for the card are around 41-42o C and all) but it just seems to be under-performing with what i currently have, a chieftec 550w that has 18A...

Thanks a lot my friend, appreciated. Btw, is EVGA rma-ing to specific countries only? 'cause i tried to use their online rma but it lists only certain countries!

On the 550w one: How many A's you have on the 12v rail with that psu? Thanks, D

Thanks a lot for those lists! Today, I was told by Evga customer support to check the card on other systems as well; so I did. 3 computers, 2 pentium and 1 athlon amd xp , all similar to my system but with no luck, no boot at all and I used my own psu (the one described earlier). One time it...

...although i doubt that the missing power cable is the problem. Btw, Could the memory specs of the card be not-fitting with my ram and motherboard or isn't that an issue? It has Memory 256MB GDDR3 In Detail: * EVGA GeForce™ 7800 GS CO OverClock Edition 256MB - AGP 8X *...

Thanks!

Is your card working all right with the Antec Tru Power II 550watt psu? Do you have it connected directly to the psu via a 4-pin molex adapter or through the pci 6-pin connector? Thanks a lot, D

Forgot to mention that i'd prefer a cheap solution. Would this do it btw? TAGAN TG480-U01 480W DUAL FAN BLACK + 2 X PCI-E 480W with 28Α on +3.3V, 28A on +12V, 48A on +5V, 1A on -12V, 0.8A on -5V and 2.5A on +5VSB Link (in Greek, but specs show as well)...

Hello, It seems that i can't get my newly purchased video card to work, 'cause of the power supply. Here's the set up: POWER SUPPLY CHIEFTEC GPS-550AB A (ACTIVE PFC) Rated Power: 550w with +12V carrying 18A and 216W MOTHERBOARD CHAINTECH ZENITH 7NJS ULTRA EZ BASIC...

Chieftec is the brand. All this sounds logical but what if it's a card problem? I mean even if it was on low power, wouldn't it still let the pc and itself power up but later tell me i am low on power, in windows or something? This thing here works only for 5-10 seconds and then i get a...

You mean it's not the lack of that cable that causes the problem? 'Cause i had the card connected directly to a 4-pin molex which goes up to the power supply. Thanks, D

UPDATE!!! I just found that this power cable here: http://www.h3hardware.com.ar/NuevosProductos/VGA/eVGA%20Geforce%207800GS%20256Mb%20AGP/eVGA%20256-A8-N506-AX/cds.jpg was missing from my package, even if it was sealed with the safety tickets, both sides!!!!!!! THANKS A LOT EVGA ! ****...

Yeah, i checked the connections a lot of times, all seem ok. And my psu is 550W!

Woah, 30A! Do you have any specific sup in mind? I am going to return mine tomorrow and see what i'll do but 'till now, over a small search i did earlier, i wasn't able to find one psu with more than 25A on 12V Appreciated, D

Thanks, i'll look it out. The card was purchased from computer store in e-bay about half a month back. It's an evga.
