Re: What happens if your PSU is too weak for the video card?

I'm no expert but what happened to me a long time ago was...

I got a 9800 pro and my psu was too weak so the psu blew out after a bit. My computer just wouldn't turn on. I got a new psu and everything was fine for many years until my 9800 pro finally gave out.

No damage to anything else that I was aware of.
