SN25P Video Problem! HELP PLEASE!

[hoppjah]

OK, so I've got my system all built up and ready to install Windows XP Pro. Only thing is that I've got NO VIDEO. Here's system specs:

SN25P
AMD 3700+ skt 939 San Diego
2x512 G.skill DDR400 memory
BFG 6800 GT PCi-E
WD Raptor 74gig

So... I called BFG and they think its not getting enough juice to power the card. The green light is on the BFG card, and they say thats indicating that it doesn't have enough power, and want me to test it in another system. Only problem is... I dont have another PCI-E system to test it on, and all my friends are stuck in AGP-land.

WHY DIDN'T SHUTTLE JUST INCLUDE A PCI-E POWER CONNECTOR ON THE POWER SUPPLY?!

This is insanely frustrating. What did all you SN25P owners do to get enough power to the card? I see people regularly posting that they have 7800GT/GTX's running in their systems, HOW DID YOU DO IT?

Thanks in advance!

If it isn't getting enough power get a PCIe to Power Molex Adaptor and plug it in. After all, the minimum requirements do state that you need 2 free Molex Connectors so that you can connect the adaptor. If you don't have 2 free connectors, get molex splitter cables.

So did you have power connected to the video card?

Did you have stock cooler on you video card?

Yeah, I did all of the above. I have a Molex splitter and the PCI-E Connector. It still provides no video... I need to get this thing into another system to see if it works.
