Computer won't start with new graphics card
I have my custom built computer, that worked for months but now when the video card is plugged in it doesn't even turn on, and the PSU has to be reset (turned off and on).

Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
PSU: 600W OCZ
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ (Windsor)

Help please.

You are certain that you haven't exceeded the capacity of your PSU? It seems unlikely based on the fact that it is 600W, but the symptoms seem to fit.
