What do you expect? The Geforce 9800 came out in May 2008, and you're using
a medieval 400W power supply from 2004. That beast needs 750W minimum.

Well..wich BRAND Psu do you have..

I remember myself the cute and cuddly Q-tec 450W psu's that where so
unstable that even a chieftec 250W kind of psu would be better...

mmmm

Are you using a dedicated Molex connector? In other words, are you
using a connector that has nothing else on the same cable run?

Check the power-supply label for the maximum 12V current.
If no label, throw power-supply from highest cliff. If label,
check for 18 amps. 15 amps is marginal if you have
a top-end CPU. Check also that the female contacts in the
4-pin Molex housing on the power-cable are not spread and
making erratic contact at the video card. A dose of contact
cleaner may also be helpful. There is a very remote chance
that a voltage regulator on your 5900 board may be flaky or
poorly soldered.

Hmm.. Guys regarding this question, i have a geforce fx 5200 and
thinkin of gettin a 5700xt/5900xt (prolly 5900 because that 30$
difference is really worth it, 5900xt is so much better, u guys can
gimme tips and such, i only need it for 1 year, since ill move to pci
express and new comp in a year.. wanna play latest games such as HL2,
UT2K4, etc). So the other thing, when i WILL get one of those, u
actually need a molex connector from the PSU ? dont u just plug it to
the AGP slot and done deal ? sounds weird, u sure the molex connector
can even reach it ? And when ill get my new PSU also, should i get at
least a 400W one ?(since itll come with case so it wont be top of the
line). what u guys think ? plz answer those 2 its really important :-P
10x alot,
