hi all, i currently have a OCZ stealthXtreme 600 watt psu and i am having issues with loosing signal to the monitor and when checking the pc, the gtx 280 has the red LED lit up (saying it has incorrect power), the system uses only 300 watts of power when in game (tested at the wall with a power meter)
the issue i am having is i think the psu is not keeping up for some reason as the GFX card needs a 6 + 8 pin power and the psu only has 2 X 6pin, the GTX 280 come with power adaptors (2 X 6 pin to 8 pin) and (2 X molex to 6pin) and i have split the power over all the rails to even out the load (i do have 5 X HDD's in the pc as well)
would i be right in thinking that one of the rails is not keeping up..
if so what psu should i get as a replacement (it needs 6 pin and 8 pin for the gfx)
