Pop Up Alert?

Hi there,
I am new in this forum and I wish to know what is going on on my
graphci Card. (geforce 6800GS).
Today, after booting my pc, before I started the new windows session, I
have got an alert windows pop-up telling me that because there is not
much power on the card the system have disable some future on the card.
I have not made anything to my card, I 've just used as I do every
day:working.
I have restarted to test if there was not too much power, but the alert
windows it doesn't not pop-up.
Does anyone know if there is anything to test my card if I have power?

thank for your support.

Check the external power connection to the card. Remove and reseat or switch
to another free connector. Possible your p/s is slowly failing and
generating insufficient amounts periodically, enough to trigger the warning.
I had this happed years ago with a 9800 Pro and a 350W generic. Worked fine
for a year+, then would generate the warning every so often on bootup.
Replacing the p/s with a decent one cured it.

I had a power supply fail in just under one year. Luckily it was replaced
under warrenty. Before it failed, I noticed the top of my box (where the
power supply is) would get very warm to the touch.

I have a similar problem with an albratron 7600 gs and it continues even
though I changed the psu to a new one with more than double the wattage.
The fan on the 7600GS series cards is notorious for the stock fan melting
down. i bet it isnt even spinning in your case.

Mine melted down and locked solid. Replaced it with an after market fan on my
second system.
