Anyone?

list your full specs including the power supply
check you have enough power to run the system here

based on a quality supply and add 30% to the result

 

[Ardhiel]

My power supply is 500 watts from MGE(i think, could be another company) and the wattage required came out to 266Watts(i had to use the vanilla 6800 because my card wasnt there) and if i add 30% to that its only 345.8 Watts well within the power range.

mge warranty their supplies for life and the o/clocker reveiw of it backs it as a quality supply
what are the 12v readings on the lcd at the back,it should be supplying more than ample power

Im not sure, but i found it on the internet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817167015

a bit different to the one in your case
check your voltages with speedfan

Thats the new viper case and PS, mine is the old discontinued model, voltage reads: 11.31V
