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?

Bigger power supply if you want to run that.

try to disconnect the cd rom or an extra attached hd, then power up. if the message is gone, time for a bigger PS.

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.
