CJ550 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I got this message on startup-Problem Report"The nvidia System Sentinel is reporting that the NVIDIA-powered graphics card is not receiving sufficient power"."To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations"Anyone know why this has happened or what i have to do to fix it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Modern graphics cards (and other items like sound cards) are very power hungry.Is your PSU powerful enough to supply?What is the power of your PSU and what hardware do you have installed?

Alan2273 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Also is there a seperate connector to the card, as mine has a seperate connection on the motherboard to supply the extra power needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 You should be able to see the rating of the PSU on its case inside the computer or on the written specification/invoice of the computer.If you can give us more details about your computer we might be able to find out if there is nothing that you have that gives it.
