Win7 late warning about graphics card power
I replaced the graphics card in a PC. It is only used for e-mail, so I
went to spare parts cellar and grabbed what I thought was a low power card. It had a PCIE6 power socket, but I did not notice then. A week later, I got a warning from Windows to the effect that the Nvidia graphics card does not have extra power, so performance has been throttled, and I should connect the power or else the card might damage. Now I would expect that the first time I boot with this card that Windows installs a driver for it, and the second time I boot then such a warning should pop up. Why does it take half a dozen boots before complaint arises??? |
