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

It's supposed to simply shut down from overload protection, but two things: loading down an individual rail can result in various issues such as failure to boot, instability, overheating, or blown secondary of supply.

Often supplies do blow when overloaded, though it "isn't supposed to" happen.
