Computer Peeps: need help on video card
I installed my nVidia GeForce FX 5900 SE last night. Thought everything went well until I got this message every time I start up. It says there is a lack of power. How do I fix it?

yea, its mostly the power supply. Do you use USB and have a number of USB perhipherals hooked up? That would use a lot of the power supply.
