I've tried re-wiring the power plugs so that the
2 that go into the card aren't supplying anything else, will see if that works first...
forgive my n00bness,
2 plugs
will it not work with just the one from the psu?

It's a Gainward 7800GT 512mb jobby, got it's own power supply which is definitely plugged in!
Aha.. you spotted it!
The old PSU I had didn't have a PCIe power connector so it used
two molex power plugs and a '2 into 1' adapter to plug into the
one socket on the gfx card, the shiny new PSU has
two proper PCIe power connectors as it's designed for a SLI set up, but i only need to use
one of them to power my
one card... it's all down to the first post being made with the old PSU in place, and the second one after I'd installed the new PSU.
Confused..?
