I think the first step would be to see if you have adequate voltage. In a six pin connector, you should be able to measure 12 v. on the left pair, 12 v. on the right pair.  Good article here:

You can plug your system into this and see if your power supply is adequate for your hardware:

Bitsanpcs said it's a PCI Graphics card. Not PCI express.
I doubt the card do much with 266Mbits per second.

You are correct Misko it was identified as PCI, but I thought all the Ge Force 8400s were PCI (which I learned is not accurate):  http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-...s/features

Apparently it is one of the initial 8400s which were indeed PCI (with rev 2 and 3 going to PCIe).

My bad.  Sad

No big deal Cris Smile
I wish his PC suports PCIe or AGP cards. He (probably) wouldn't have this kind of issues.
At the end, he can play videos with QMPlay2.

Hello!

I'm interested in this, also, as every video card I've ever installed was powered by the AGP/PCI/PCIe bus on the motherboard...

N4RPS - not sure what you are asking or interested in.  If it's the auxiliary power (or whatever they call it) there are some PCIe cards that require an additional 6 pin power plug connection.  This is the spec sheet for mine: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-...ifications

If you look down near the bottom on the specs it shows "supplemental pwer connection: 6 pin"

Many of the power supplies have this coming right off the supply, otherwise there are adapters to get the power elsewhere.  I have heard that some people have run this card (GeForce 9600 GT without a supplement connection plugged in and everything seemed to work but performance was not great. Not sure if this was your question?
