Not sure if this is a problem with my power supply or my graphic card so when I turn the power on to my computer I get a 1. then a f. post code and then it just doesn't turn on any help? also my board is a abit aw8d, power supply is a LogiSys 400w part number:PS550E12, also 2gb ram, 2 hard drives one is 160 other is 500gb also both sata. Also I had this problem before, but my 550w power supply wouldn't support this nvidia 9800gtx+ 512 card because it had poor psu? something like that so I switch to a lower watt but not sure if it had better or worse psu but before it would't give me that error also I uploaded a video of the error

If the 550W PSU wouldn't support the card why did you go to a 400W?
You certainly need a quality PSU with sufficient power to support the 9800GTX.
Seasonic & Corsair are quality PSU's.
This would be a good choice: CORSAIR 650W $90
