I doubt the card do much with 266Mbits per second.

You are correct Misko it was identified as PCI, but I thought all the Ge Force 8400s were PCI (which I learned is not accurate):  http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-8400-gs/features

Apparently it is one of the initial 8400s which were indeed PCI (with rev 2 and 3 going to PCIe).

My bad.  :(

ChrisL:
I think the first step would be to see if you have adequate voltage. In a six pin connector, you should be able to measure 12 v. on the left pair, 12 v. on the right pair.  Good article here:

You can plug your system into this and see if your power supply is adequate for your hardware:

Hello galen,

thank you for your reply.
How do I check if the video card is powered enough and if I have a good power cable to to the video card please ?

I'm late to this topic,
but I've ran across this before,
my video card was not powered enough, make sure you have a good power cable to the video card
