I think that's where the issue is - - - - the PSU has a 6 + 2 Molex connector
setup. The cable looks good - - - cable with external mesh to 'neaten' up the
internals - - - - except there are only 7 conductors! One of the ground cables
is just not connected - - - - that's on the PSU side - - - there are 8
cables on
the card side but NOT on the PSU end.

My guess is that the new card just have to have all eight connections.
(Stands to reason imo.)
