i've had my system up and running smoothly for a good three months now, but as of late everytime i boot into windows i get an nvidia power indicator notice that states:
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 system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations.
i did some google-ing and some searching on the forums here and could only find people having this problem with 6800gts and ultras. the 6600gt i have does not have a power connector on it. i can't think of anything i've done that would cause this error to pop up. no hardware has changed in the three months i've had this system, and it's all high quality stuff. what could be the problem?
specs:
gigabyte nforce4 sli
athlon 64 3000+
corsair xpert xms
bfg geforce 6600gt pci-e
pc power and cooling turbo 510w sli
the graphics card temps are around 65C, if that has any relevance...
