Hello,
Before I start I would just like to say hello, I just joined up.
Two days ago I bought an Antec Basiq 500Watt Dual Rail PSU. It has 18 amps on both 12v rails and I was wondering if it was enough to run a 8600 gts or 8600 gt. I have a typical hard drive, cpu motherboard. Nothin else so far. (building a new computer).
Oh and i tried to run an x1900 gt and had some problems with artifacts on boot up - computer hits windows xp logo screen where it starts to load for a fraction of a second before it shuts down.
I was wondering if this may be a problem with the psu or the graphics card itself.
I have been searching the forums to find nothing that is directly relevant to my question
Thank you in advance
