Re: nVidia Geforce 8600 GT Problems

A 8600 requires nothing like 50A to run. You require 32A on the whole of the 12V rail system to run a PCIe card such as the 8600. The 8600 is a medium/bottom end card and doesn't even require a supplemental power connection.

As a start, please make sure you Vista installation has SP1 as a minimum to overcome any hibernation support issues, then post your complete specs including the power supply unit model.
