I bought geforce 8600GT today but when I was putting it in I noticed that there is another plugin(zie pic) but I don't have that cable for it in my pc.

do I need to plug it in??
so I need a little help here.

Thats a PCI Express power connector.

You need one from the Power supply.

Most computer shops sell a "converter" plug from the standard molex power plug to PCIe.

But you're probably better off with a new power supply me thinks :D

my pc is new so I think the powersuply Is good but do you mean that ''converter plug'' is a loose cable to connect the graphic card.

EDIT: I managed to get a new powesuply with that cable.
but once I installed the powersuply my pc didn't start and I connected everything so what did I do wrong?

ps. when I start the pc you see the red light just blink 1 time and thats it.
