I just purchased a new p5p800 motherboard, when I put a game in with any kind of graphics I loose video, and I have to turn the power off to get it back, I thought it was the motherboard so I took it back and got anotherone and it does the same thing. the one thing is I only have a 20 pin plug (power) would that be the problem?

if the m/b requires the 24 pin i think you can get an adapter for it
plenty on it here

Well for sure it was a power issue, I went back to where I purchased the board and case, I traded the case (power supply) in for another and also picked up an adaptor. It is working good now! but I don't know which was the problem, don't think I am going to try and find out either, going to just play. I just wanted to tell that the problem is resolved.
