when i start up xp i get a window saying:
Problem Report
The NVIDIA System Sentinel is reporting that the NVIDIA powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power.
Graphics processor has lowered its performance to allow safe operations.

But I have a Forton 550W psu. whats going on here. this psu didnt come with the 12v four pin it came with a 8 pin power connector into my msi master 2 far board. Is that the problem?, is the +12v neccessary to power the AGP or does the 8 pin take care of that. If so is there a psu that has both connectors?
Thanks,
Raoul
