Hi guys, I've been running an ATI Radeon 650 on an antec true power 650. Never had anomalies freezes or other issues while gaming.
However, I've always had to leave on my PC because when I shutdown and restart I get hell for the system to detect the video card again which usually involves me resetting the bios.
I sit other video cards in the slot and don't get issues.
I was wondering if the AMPS on my 12v rail is enough for this card. You can see all of the ratings here:

The video card just has a high fan noise now and is never recognized. I've updated the bios, made sure that PCI slot is primary... everything, it is never even detected as being slotted in the MB.
I am just asking this as a last resort, if my power supply was not good enough maybe it damaged the card over time? But how is that possible since I never had issues running high ends games for hours ( no artifacts no tearing no freezes nothing )
If the power supply is good enough then the card is bad, I guess, but I am wondering, just to go bad like that without showing any signs of going bad? It's 3 years old.
The system is windows 7 64 bit, MSI motherboard B75MA-P45, core i3, 12 megs of ram.
According to the specs listed above, where you can see a picture of the details of the amps and rails and wattage, it has 4 12v rolls (I guess splitters) each rated between 22a and 27a but total 54a, does this matter when connecting my card with the 6 pin connector? Is that connector only capable of giving 22a? And is that then enough? Or can it draw more amps through that single connector up to the max amps which I believe it says is 54.
THanks in advance
