GTX280 No Video Output

[gc86]

My sig is current, I downgraded to a GTX280 from my 4870x2. I power up the system the power indicator light is green on the GTX280 and I see the BIOS post screen, than I hear the fan on the GPU get loud than my display cuts out and the power indicator on the GPU turns orange.

I know when it turns red that means it doesn't have adequate power.. but orange?

Maybe I need a BIOS update...? any ideas people

I'd try removing/reseating the card. A BIOS update shouldn't be needed.

I've tryed both slots, no luck. It's weird I see the BIOS post screen than the video output ceases.

Your PSU should be plenty. Could you try the second 6+2 cable to see if you get the same problem?

Same issue, I know my 4870x2 needed more watts and I never had a problem with that.
