8800 GTS problems...

[corup7ion]

The computer powers up fine, but the video card fan goes really fast. When it's going fast, it never works. It will just run really fast until I restart the computer. Occasionally on startup, it goes fast for 3 seconds, then goes slow. (and works)

Occasionally.

Why is this? Is it a power issue? my PSU is a 600w...

Also, when i plug in my 6600, it doesnt even work!

The few times the 8800 did work, it said "Please remove Over - current USB device! Windows will shut down in 20 seconds!"

What does all of this mean>?

Either you havent got a good power connection to the card or your PSU is on its way out.
Given that your 6600 doesnt work either, it looks like the PSU.
Borrow another to test.

Your looking in the wrong place for a problem.

The fan will start off at full speed by default, when the mobo posts the fan is slowed down by the gcard bios. No mobo post=no fan slow down.
