This is on my friends computer that i built. He calls me today and says he cant play any games because it says he doesnt have Directx on, this is on his 9800pro. So i go over there and just install the new 5.8's and after i uninstall the old ones the computer says the 9800pro isnt plugged in. So i open up the case and feel the molex on the 9800pro and its burning hot, i then pull the power plug out of the card and one of the pins is black, like it was burnt. Well i put a new plug in and it boots and i install the drivers and all is fixed. But could the burnt pin made the computer say Dx wasnt enabled or is this a sign to buy a new PSU before possibly something frys in his system, his is a stock wimpy PSU from a $50 case.
