    no POST (sometimes) - can it be a psu issue?

    Ok I dug up a 350W psu just to found out it's lacking the 4-pin connector to the motherboard. Can I still try it or will it mess up my motherboard? I'll do some more searches but please help a newbie! (Edit: 20pin psu -> 24pin mobo Oh no, i guess it doesn't work .. :( Is it true it'll whack...

    no POST (sometimes) - can it be a psu issue?

    Yeah I thought mobo was it too until I received the RMA and it gives the same symptoms. I can likely get a hold of a 350W psu (although it's a pain).. I'm pretty newb at this, I hope it is compartible with my system. Not sure where to get multimeter either!

    BFG 6600gt fan incident

    Thank you for the replies! I took the card back to the store and they exchanged it with a new card. So no RMA needed for me after all. The new card is noticeably quieter so I'm happy. I'll run some benchmark on the new one. And Durandal, it has a multi-blade fan (I counted 11). Thanks!
