| 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.

I don't know.  It's quite possible that that is normal.  Googling should 
tell you.  (I'll leave that to you.)

I have found that a spare power supply isn't a bad thing.  I've had
several systems fail due to power supplies and the symptoms didn't
always point clearly to that being the problem.
