After switching my computer on this morning, all the graphics were all chunky, the resolution was really low, i checked in device manager and my 9800 pro was flagged as 'could not start', uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling it didnt want to know, so i did a system restore.

After this i got the screen 'please connect your power cable to you 9800 video card'....Strange i thought, i havent moved anything inside recently, it did seem quite loose, plugged it in again, switched on, same error. So i took it out, to swap it with a molex in a hard drive, and there are scorch marks all round the 5v wire, on the plastic casing...i wouldn't know what could of caused this, the psu, radeon, ill-fitted cable?

I dont particuarly want to be roasted by my computer at night when left on...any ideas?

Thanks
