Default GEFORCE 6800 GT intermittant power on

I have a bit of an intermittant power on problem.
Have an ABIT AN8 fatality m/b with a leadtek 6800 GT graphics card. On a
cold power on the graphics card does not power on (fan is still and led off)
Motherboard starts up and fans etc are ok. After 4 or 5 re-power-ons it
kicks into live and graphic card comes on but starts up in fail safe mode.

Thought it may have been psu so got a 500watt unit , still the same.... Ok
when hot though.

Have loaded latest BIOS s/w for motherboard.

This problem has only just started to occur in the last few weeks and is
getting worst, could it be a hardware fault on graphics card ?

Any help would be much appreciated !

Regards

Harvey
