| | PSU issue with GPU 680 Hi I installed a new GPU Nvidia GTX 680 which has a six and an eight pin power socket, I now get a message to power down my copmuter and plug in a PCi e cable which I had done. Am I doing some thing wrong? |

| | Well you definitely have enough power for it; a friend of mine suffered the same and it wound up being the card. What you can do is, if you have a spare PSU anywhere, use that to power the card and board and eliminate it (the card) as a possible culprit. |

| | No you don't need the molex adapter. You do need to connect both the 6 pin and 8 pin connectors for the card to work properly, which shouldn't be a problem as your power supply has two of each. |

| | The six + two is the 8 pin connector. It comes that way instead of all 8 so that it can be used on cards like your old one that required two 6 pin. |

| | Let's be clear on this: You have both the 6 pin and 8 pin (really 6+2 pin) PCI-E power connectors attached? The locking clips are engaged on both? (The 2 pins on the 6+2 aren't locked down, so you'll have to be careful that they're in all the way.) If the answer is "yes", you may have a serious problem. |

I just hope that the replacement works, if not then I would have a serious problem...lol |
