    Well i got a problem... again.

    Different computer then last time, i was having trouble with a display driver not responding on my vista computer (NVLDDMKM) and i saw that a couple people tried putting in the graphics card into a slot, or just reseating them (to clear catch i think) so i turned of computer opened it took out the graphics card, put it right back in, closed the computer and turned it on...

    it stayed on for 8 seconds.

    I had the same problem when i got the computer before and the people who built it said it was a faulty powersupply and sent me a new one.

    I also read that some of the NVLDDMKM errors can be caused by a weak power supply, so i was wondering if a 500watt powersupply sounds like its enough to power the comp (specs below) and if its not the issues if anyone has any idea what might be wrong (btw the motherboard lights are still on and green)

    what are the specs on the PSU? how many 12v+ rails, total amps on the 12v rails...etc

    pretty much copy the sticker on the side of the PSU

    ok the PSU should be fine, your PSU has a combined 33A on the 12v rails
