After installing the 7800GT OC drivers a message came up saying there's not enough power for [it]. This is strange, since I have a 500 watt PSU from antec. Is there a cable that I need to connect to it? It tells me that the video card has been de-clocked for this reason.
 
should of been a 6 pin adapter to two pig tail 4 pin molex. that HAS to be connected, and its better that you use to different rails on your psu.
 
Thanks for the help, I plugged that stuff in but I think it's still running at lower than normal. How can I check if it works for ever?
 
..it's not all about wattage , but more so about amps on the different rails (3.3v,+5v,+12v) .. I'd say 24 amps on each rail minimum ..depending on just how much stuff you got going...


..and too, do your voltages jump all over the place in hardware monitor in bios?
