Default Recently bought a new graphics card?

Hi there I recently bought an 8800gt graphics card. It installed great and I have been playing Crysis non stop (quality game). When I left the machine for a few minutes and returned the machine was off. I tried switching on the machine again and the light to show that it was switched on came on briefly but then went off again. Now the machine doesn't turn on at all. I just wondered if this was down to the power supply? Its a beast of a graphics card so has it maybe done something? The power supply is a Win Power model ATC600L and max output is 600W? Is that perhaps not enough? Could it be something else?Thanks for any help.Shaun

it could be the video card is at fault, try isolating the problem, take out that new video card and put in your older one and see if the problem persists, if it does not you may need to send that card in to get your money back and or replaced.

well all systems that I know of that have that kind of gaming power work on a minimal power supply of 700 Watts so it might be u'r power supply, but it also might have been over heat check to c if u'r system works after it cools down, might also be u'r mother board but I highly doubt that
