just got a gtx260 video card and a zephry 750 watt power suppy. Hooked em both up turned on my comp, works fine. Go to run a game and machine shuts off. Tried it again, same thing.. only shuts off when playing games. How can I fix this. The PSU is 4x6pin and 2x8pin connectors (rails 1 ans 2). My gtx260 requres 2x6pin. I hooked them up with both rail 1's, both rail 2's, and one of each. Still cant run games. Please help.|||If that's a Zephyr 750, then it has a rather mixed reputation for DOA and weak performance.
Unless you see a really good "thrash test", PSU ratings need to be taken with a pinch of salt.
If you have to pick a PSU, look for one that passes the "hot box" testing at JonnyGuru - if it's still alive after that, it's a good PSU (unless it disgraces itself by noise/instability). Link is to the test of a "gutless" generic, but he's tested quite a few.|||"theradioham" & I seem to have done the same research .... " thumbs up ! ".
According to several reviews, there seems to be a number of unresolved issues with this unit causing reboots due to over current.
When putting any load on the video car it reboots.
There are several user reviews at Newegg who claim the same problem even with other video cards.
Go through each page & read under "cons":

I suggest returning that PSU & getting a different brand.
Apparently it's a lemon.
