hey... i just bought an evga geforce 6600gt video card... it worked just fine, i was even playing oblivion on it... After finishing oblivion, i went on the internet for a little while... All of a sudden, my monitor went all black... when i hard reset my pc, all that was showing up was a whole bunch of white blinking squares... so i called customer support and described my problem to them... they thought it might be a defective card, so i took it back... while i was making the exchange in the store, i started talking to a guy there; he told me it was a power supply issue... in fact, i had noticed that my pc wasn't registering my slave harddrive several times, but i didn't think much of it... So i went home and checked on my power supply... it surprised me to see that it wasn't a 400 watt like i thought, but it was a 200 watt... there's the problem... but i also have some spare power supplies sitting around trhe house (with lower wattage, of course). i wanna know how to hook one of them up to just my video card so i don't short it out again... in short, i wanna know how to use dual power supplies... and remember... i have a very low budget...
