Alright so I popped a new graphics card into my PC and no I'm having a few problems. They happen when powering the whole thing up.
I have 6 HDDs and ATM only 4 work, the other 2 connected to a different SATA controller seem to have some issues with powering up, so I ended up disconnecting them entirely. Connecting them to the same line of Molex connectors as the new card may have been the issue but I haven't had time to toy around yet.
BTW the HDDs are still functional (at least the one the controller didn't detect at all anymore) so they aren't fried (yet).
All of this means that I'm currently more than reluctant to connect my new Intel HDD to the thing.
Also the issue seems to be solely the power up, I've played Crysis for the last half hour or so without any problems whatsoever so at least the current PSU isn't completely overloaded.
Anyway I was wondering if any of you knew a good new PSU to replace mine (currently a 3 year old Fortron 500W so not exactly a piece of shite).
Moneys not much of an issue up to around 100€ (at which point the whole thing starts to become more expensive than the card).
Preferably with some test from a reliable hardware site to back up the recomendation.
On a related topic has any of you got experience with installing Vista drivers on 7? Possibly even with getting an Nforce4 to work under 7.
