SYSTEM SPECS
motherboard-intel DH61HO_
processor-intel i3-2120 cpu @3.30ghz,3300 Mhz 2 cores
power supply-odyssey 450 watt(october 2014 version)
graphcis card-Nvidia Geforce Gtx 600 2 gb (msi oc edition)
ram-2x4gb ram(both ram are same)
i got a gtx 660 2gb oc edition msi graphics card last year march
.since september it started crashing when i played high graphic games(whenever i went in the game,the pc screen would go off and the sound would play in a loop of what music was going on before the pc crashed)
...when i turned pc on it said (please enter your pcie power cables for this graphics card).when that happened i would turn of pc,open cpu,tighten the pcie cables and it would work fine.
...but then one day it did not switch on no matter what.
...even if tightened the cables it said "please enter your pcie power cables for this graphics card'
..so i sent it to msi for repair
after it came back it worked for one day
then it crashed again and didnt turn on no matter what
now im using my old graphics card (zotac geforce 210)and its working fine
graphics card can support high end games(ive played all games on max settings before the crashes occured)

How is the cooling for your card? Was it at a high temp? Also, how is your rigs cooling? I feel as if the card is overheating and crashing and it finally gave out. Can you describe what else has happened? Do is make a noise or does it work fine with less demanding games for a longer period of time? Also, you should have at least a 450 watt power supply and that brand may have a fault or may not be pulling enough power. I would most likely consider getting a 550 to 600 watt psu and try it with that because i believe that it is not getting enough power. Keep me updated

Thank-you for answering my question.
And,no i dont have any cooler,theres one connected to the motherboard and one onside the psu.i havent tried low graphic games on it.whenever the pc crashed with that graphic card,the pc would make a looped noise of whatever song or sound was going on in the pc.the loop was 1 sec long and lasted atleast for 20 seca or so.the cpu would still be on.but not the monitor.
I got the card repaired 2 months ago.the day i started using it with games,the pc crashee again so im assuming something is wrong with my psu.
What do you recommend i do.and i dont have my pc righr now (coz of exams)so i cant get any info from there)
