Geforce 470 not working (short circuit?)

hmm well i did some tests, trying with every rails and connectors and adaptators. and it's always the same : if anything is plugged in the right 6-pin on the card, it does not work (the computer like starts for 0.001 sec, just the time for my cpu fan to light up then stop). requesting RMA nao...

Geforce 470 not working (short circuit?)

gentlemen. thank you for checking that with me. i've contacted evga and they say that i need 38 amps on the +12V rails (actually, my psu says +12V1, +12V2, +12V3 and +12V4 all give 18 amps), so with 2 6-pin plugged it only makes 36 (not 26 ;) ) amps?. so that's it? i miss 2 amperes...

Geforce 470 not working (short circuit?)

I need to format my hard drive.

Ok so I have a laptop, an Acer Aspire 3050 and I completely hate it. It never worked well. So I was roaming around on Vista when suddenly it reboots. That's nothing new. But it won't start anymore. That's nothing new. Even in safe mode or "last working configuration" or whatever. That's not...
