12V Rails: 2
PCI-E Connectors: 2 x 6Pin

[/QUOTE] The 8600GTS requires a powersupply with 18-20amps on the 12V+ rail and a 6pin connector. All those powersupplies I listed have at least a 6pin connector and can output over 30 amps so no you don't need 500w or more.......- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I have a feeling that your PSU is still alive.
The mobo could be the one that is failing.
Have you tested installing your psu on another rig?
