This week, I bought a cheap 8600GT Nvidia card but I never gave much thought to upgrading my PSU until I plugged my card in and then the video card decided to turn itself off after about a minutes play. I realised the PSU was only giving out 250w. So I decided to upgrade it to 570w but it still doesn't make the 8600GT card run at all but somehow my old video card still works. Why is it doing this?

-Is the card's power connected?
-Is it over heating? (My guess)
-Did you install the right drivers?
-Card could be faulty?

"Cheap" being the keyword. Maybe you fried the new card since the old one still works.

Dude... Cheap cards.. Gaming.. overheating..
I once fried a card with Supreme Commmander.. That is one seriously good looking way to melt stuck HTC from a machine - works even better than prime 95 during tank rushes... Gameplays a bore though
