Nin,
Perhaps a bit late for a post from the left coast, but if changing your power cables didn't solve your problem: the 6800gt seems to need Dx9.b, Dx9.c needs MS dot net framework. I also have an Antec 430w ps, basically the same configuration as yours with even more power requirements. Do you have access to a power supply tester in case all else fails?

52. 6800 GT Aug 2, 2004, 17:08 oldirish
 
Just installed a 6800 GT. I had been holding out for an ultra but, since a local shop found only a GT and I didn't feel like paying inflated prices, I caved in. The increase in 3dMK03 benchmark was dramatic; 6270 (5900 ultra) to 10826. (P4 3.0 & won't list the rest unless anyone is interested)
