i just installed a new video card. everything works fine. but after the computer has ben on for some time. when i go to reboot it. it wont make it past the bios screen. the computer resets as soon as the hard drives kicks on. i have to power down compleatley and only after it sits for about 30 mins will it boot back up. if i unplug the auxilary power to the video card it will boot. but of course no picture. is my new card drawing to much power maybe? it calls for 350w and my power supply is 450w i know this dosent leave much for surrounding componets. and im still not sure why it would be diffrent after sitting a wile. does anybody have any ideas??????
