I just bought the Sapphire version of the X800 XT Platinum Edition to
be a part of my all-new system. I installed the card and connected it
to it's own molex from the power supply, but when I boot the machine so
that I can install Windows, I get an on-screen message in red lettering
saying that I have not connected the video card to the power cable. I'm
not sure if my card is defective or if I've connected something wrong.
Any suggestions?

You running a quality power supply in that box, or just a generic one? I
would not even think about running a generic ps with a card like that.
