Title says it all. Used the included adapters on my EVGA gtx280 to adapt two 6 pin connectors to an 8 pin. used another adapter in the box for the other 6 pin. Worked great for about 5 min. Bioshock totally maxed out at 2560 by 1600 was beautiful. I rejoiced. Then, i suddenly saw corrupted screen graphics and BSOD. Rebooted and on post saw corrupted text. Shut system of in my a/c room, unplugged and let rest. Restarted, same thing.
Replaced my 8800gtx, all ok.
Hope the new card isn't screwed...
Went to Circuit City 45 minutes before closing time and found just placed on the shelves Antec 1000 watt power supply with two 8 pin and 2 six pin connectors. Took it home, opened the box after uninstalling my old PS. Odd, I could only see one 8 pin connector and one 6 pin connector. Looked at PS label and it said it was 650 watts. Intruction manual also for 650 watt model. Thanks Antec!!
Circuit City closed of course. Must wait til after work tomorrow. Imagine the scene as I try and explain I want to exchange the 1000 watt PS box and a 650 watt PS for a new 1000 watt PS. Will I be believed? Who knows.
I am a little frustrated and a bit peeved right now...
