Hmm

Well, luks like new PSU is faulty again

Buy this PSU or try the card in another PC
PSU-CM 460W @ 2.2k

First try the card in another PC

If it doesn't work, then it's defective.

Check the bios settings to be sure that you have disabled onboard video.

SMPS Issue Is There...

8600GT Should be used With Medium Resolution...

Employ An Xtra fan For Cooling.

Probably Upgrade To Palit 9600GT For Rs. 6600.00
