9800GTX cold boot
Hey everyone!
Long time reader, but I barley post. I come here because I know you guys will point me in the right direction. Ever since I got my eVGA9800GTX about a month ago my computer won't 'cold boot' anymore. In the morning when I wake up I have to turn it on, let it sit for 1 minute, and then hit the restart button for it to fully turn on the monitor, etc. My specs are: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Mother Board AMD 4200+ X2 Dual core - Clocked @ 2.64 ghz 4 gig ddr 400 Kingston Hyper X (only 3 because of 32bit xp ;( Corsair 520 watt PSU <---- eVGA 9800 GTX clocked @ 800/200/1280 Please, any help would be great. I am thinking maybe a better PSU but I want to know if it could be something else. Thanks in advance OCers!

that PSU should be able to run that card fine, but on your GTX, is the light green or red?

Doubtful it's your PSU, I ran a 3870X2 for a couple of months with the 520 just fine. Have you tried plugging in the extra molex on your mobo yet?

There should be a green LED towards the front of the video card. Did you plug in both of the 6-pin connectors?

lol... Come on guys, I am not a TOTAL NOOB.
Yes I plugged both in.  The card works great, been playing cod4 and conan a lot. Its just the COLD BOOT issue that is bugging me. There is NO LED anywhere on the card. I am staring at it right now. I can take pix if that would help... ? Thanks again for the help, I am sitting on this thread till we figure it out! :P
