I upgraded GPU's to a Nvidia 9600GT. I upgraded the power supply to a 450W Coolmax (model CT-450) I hooked everything up properly, triple checked everything and it was all good. Booted up and now even the most minor app is crashing my system to a black screen. This card was running fine on a 300W PSU without the PCIe connector with Borderlands, WoW, and Mass Effect 2. Now, with the new PSU and full power to the card, everything is crashing, even games like Republic Commando and Plants vs Zombies. Did I miss something, do I need to change some voltage settings in the BIOS?? Any help would be great. Spec from Belarc below.
