I've got some PSU trouble
Sometimes my PC won't start, the power comes on but it won't post.
If I mess around with the rats nest of PSU cables (combination of an antec 900 gaming case with the PSU at the bottom, a 1kw PSU with more cables than common sense and a huge graphics card taking up the middle of the case!), I can get the PC to start normally.
The only thing i can think of is a bad cable on the power supply. This is looking more likely as it didn't seem to turn off even though I had switched off the hardware switch on the back of the supply!
I'm going to try and replace the PSU first. If that fixes it, great, if not then its time to think again.
The problem I have is with the 8800GTX. This is an old monster of a card and off one of the first production runs so it needs 30amps on the 12v rail.
I'm thinking of getting a
Hunkey X7 900W Power Supply
Problem is that its got a tonne of rails, but does anyone know if it has enough juice on 2 of them to power the 8800GTX?
