Problem installing GPU

That sure seems to show the GPU is a bad one John.

(did you check the medicine chest for the spare PCI cable?)

Ok well the only power point I can find Gary is the six pack on the top of the card. It snaps into place with a definite click and yes I tried both DVI sockets I never use the VGA much these days only on older fixes.

Problem is being able to see what one is doing as the screen is so chaotic I'll try it again and send some pics of the screen. Having said that it will probably go ok this morning

You did not see another power connection in the front of the card under the cover
one on the side and one in front of the of the plastic covering on the card

I tryed to look up detail pictures but they don't give a good view but from the pics i seen power connections in the from and side of the GPU if that helps any

Late to the party, but:

The little-noted dark side to modular PSUs.

Hum yes mate especially when you are as scatter brained as me

I keep mine in the original bag in a box. Of course all of my spare parts and pieces fit in 3 boxes.
