Re: Computer Turning itself off
I am not sure what that is ???

That card requires a 6 pin power connection.
Ideally you have a PCI_E ready PSU with a 6 pin PCI_E lead.
If not most cards have a 4 pin molex / 6 pin PCI_E adapter which should work but not as well.
The power port is on the rear end of that model I believe.

Okay, i'm gonna take a look and see if i can make sense of what you're telling me. Bare with me.
Be back in like 10 mins.

Alright, my PSU only has 1, 4 pin power connector. Unless i'm missing the other 4 or 6 pin somewhere.

That graphics card requires:
Dedicated 6-pin PCIe Molex power connector required (not shared or split)
MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC (GeForce 9600 GT) :: Articles :: www.hardwarezone.com
The 6 pin port on the graphics card is probably on the rear end or on the side near the rear.
If your PSU were rated for PCI_E it would have a dedicated 6 pin line for this card.
Otherwise some cards come with an adapter to go from the standard 4 pin to a 6 pin.
Whereas the latter should work it will not work as well as if the PSU were PCI_E ready.
