I recently upgraded my videocard from a geforce 4 mx440 to a nivida fx5900 ultra

and I get this error after I update my drivers.

Seems pretty self explanitory... it means that your Power Supply Unit isnt sufficent to run that card. This can be easily fixed by purchasing a new Power Supply Unit with a higher output value. 350Watts should do fine for that card.

Hello MKA390 and welcome to G2G!

Have you plugged in the extra 4 pin power connector that the card requires?

Hello MKA390!

A 4 pin molex connector looks like this:

It should be connected to the 4 pin socket on the graphics card.
