That should give you enough power. How are your temperatures for the motherboard and cpu? However, it could be that you are having a power supply issue in that it is failing.

yes it is supposed be plugged into the psu which I did already. Infact there was 2 connectors that go into the psu, and i plugged them both in like the instructions told me to do so. Temperatures on everything is good. Cpu and mobo temps are good same with the video card.

once i play a game it starts to heat up a lil bit after 10 mins or so of game play the card heats up to about 78degress celsuis. My neighbor had mentioned since the first time I hooked it up i only put the video card onto one psu connector and turned my pc on and than got that error message. I than connected the 2nd one and got the same error message. He said it might be right now but the error code needs to be reset. However I think i am gona give the place that i bought the card at a call in the morning and see what they have to say.
