So I got my eVGA 6800U today and installed it in my machine. Had a heck of a time wrestling the sucker in and getting the molex connectors on. That card is LOOOOONG.
Anyway, get everything in, fire the PC up and as soon as the Windows splash screen comes up, the breaker for my room kicks. I was like WTF??!! So go downstairs, reset the breaker, come back and fire it up again. Windows splash screen, poof, breaker off again.
Now, I do have TONS of equipment running in my rooms.. 3 PCs, a portable AC and a bunch of other crap but even still, that's NEVER happened. Finally I had to shut down one of my PCs to get the 6800U rig to boot past the Windows splash screen.
Good thing I got a cousin that's an electrician
