    Disconnect one of your hard disks and any extra fans you can do without temporarily.

    temporarily!
    take out your storage drive, and i'm pretty sure he means just take out the fans to see if it will free up enough power, if so then you either need to cut down on some stuff or get a bigger psu

    Are you sure you need more power?

    How did you determine that?

    After it says not enough power it says this:

    "To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations."
