Probably just a bad driver install. Uninstall your drivers and run drive cleaner pro, of you could reformat in the extreme case ^_^. Then install a supported driver. I believe that AMD removed support for the X800 cards on newer drivers. While your messing with it go into the BIOS and turn off fast read and fast write.

thats exaxctly why its telling you that......look on your video card, in the back of the video card you will see a 4pin molex plug, just like the one you see on a CD-ROM or Hard Drive. You need to plug in a plug from your power supply to your video card and press it in to make sure that its all the way in....
