NEEEEEd Help before I break my computer ! 8800 GTX

HI please answer me fast cause I think Im in a big trouble.

I just got an 8800 GTX today. I just puted in my XPS 410 with 1 cable connect from the PSU to GPU but there are 2 slots. When I turn on the computer and when the windows start a report pops up and talk about PSU, cable and damagin the computer. Is there anything wrong or it's just fine ? because Dell offers 8800 GTX with 375 watt and people have no problem

Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 28 Amps.)

375 isnt enough watts, buy a new powersupply with plenty of amps on the 12V rails. and you need to plug both connecters to the GTX, not just one (i think)

What does it say about PSU?

I need to know this beacuse I have a dell and planning on buying a 8800. What does it say about PSU?Big_Black_Eyes

It says your Power supply is not enough and it can damage your system but it is a lie because Dell offers 8800 Ultra with XPS 410 and they say 375 PSU from dell means 500Watts

I don't know for a fact, but I have heard reputable people in here say that the Dell XPS's 375w PSU is enough to power a 8800GTX.

You need to plug both power connectors. The card should have come with a 2 molex (4 pin) to 1 x 6 pin PCIe adapter.

You probably won't have enough power. It could just cause it not to preform to it potential, or it could cause your system to crash, and I guess it is possible it would work just fine, though I doubt it.

I have forgotten to replug up my GTX after some work and got a god awful high pitch noise until I plugged it back up.
