Re: Power Supply Diagnostics?

I recently put a new video card (Geforce 7900GS) in my rig so that I
could play Oblivion, and now I'm coming up with some odd behavior.
After the game has been running a while the system tends to either
freeze up and freeze the screen, or freeze up and the screen goes into
power-save mode, and the power and reset buttons are unresponsive
(have to turn off the power supply and then turn it back on).

I'm trying to diagnose this problem, and would like to rule out the
power supply crashing under heavy-load from the new card. Any tips
for how to do this? I believe it is a 350W brand-name model, and have
had no issues up to this point.

Also, you might say that the issue is obviously my new graphics card,
since that was when the issue started, but before I installed this
card, I never played any games or did anything really demanding on
this system. Email and Firefox was about it.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Geforce 7600GS with a built-in power jack (re; John Doe
reply) & have left it off in error to get messages of power loss. With
you recently (I recently put a new video card) installing it you may
have done just that??
