Video card burned down?

Hi,



I had a new video card and I was playing Counter Strike Source to test it. After let's say....... 50 seconds of game the screen shut down by itself and said "RGB NO INPUT SIGNAL!". After restarting the computer, removing the card from the slot etc, it still didn't work. I have a hunch that it comes from the power supply, because the video card requires 300W of power and the power supply gives 300W.

Is it possible that because of a lack of power, my card burned down? Or is it because Counter Strike source was asking for too much graphics? I don't think it's because of Counter Strike source because the card was really good (nVidia GeForce 7600GS, 512MB, AGP8x). Do you think it comes from the power supply or because of the game or because of anything else?

Thanks|||It is likely the power supply. 300 watts is not a lot, especially for a powerful gaming rig. I would suggest upgrading to 400 or 450 at least. Check out Newegg.com, great prices and service :)|||Its most likely your power supply, you should get at least a 400watt.
