Hi Drak,
Sorry to tell you but your Cooler Master power supply is a pile of junk. When you upgrade anything in your computer, besides a fan or something else small, you need to consider the power supply first. A 6-pin PCIe cable can deliver 75 watts. An 8-pin 150 watts. Using an adapter is a really bad idea. It does not magically create the missing 75 watts. It just delivers lower power and can possibly damage components. You need to replace your power supply with a higher quality model that has the cables you need and can actually deliver its rated output on the +12volt rail. Your 500W only delivers 350W and that's when it was new. It's probably less by now if you had it a few years. Hopefully a new power supply will fix the problem if nothing was damaged.
