Read the manual, uninstall nvidia display drivers.....Don't do anything until you're 100% sure it's the right thing, don't want to waste 250 dollars or whatever.


http://www.ati.com/ for drivers.

Why would you need to use the power supply cords for a video card?

If you don't want it to overheat, I believe the power is for the fan.
