the computer I built for my folks has now gone through two video cards.
I've since switched to a 460W PSU, but I'm just curious, could an underpowered psu kill a video card?
here are the rough specs of the system
2.4ghz core 2
2gigs ram
320gb wd hd
7300gt (passively cooled asus, died-->crashes windows boot), ati rx2600pro (memory failure, rma'd)
2x cd rom drives (one dvdr one cdr)
2x random pci cards (old sound card, usb2.0/firewire card)
and....an a really old 300W PSU that is doesn't have the extra 4 pins on the mobo connector.
thoughts?
