Radeon 9800 PRO Power Connecter Issues, Wont Boot

Hey guys strange problem here. Sometimes when i try and boot up my PC it gives me that red error mesage that says to connect the power connect on the Radeon card to the power supply. Well its already connected and it still gives that error. Now here is the wierd thing, if i restart my computer it eventually boots into XP, not all the time though. I have an antec 450 watt PSU so that isnt the problem. motherboard is epox 8RDA3+ with an athlon 3200XP+. Games and windows run perfect once it finally boots, any thoughts on this strange problem?

Check the the power is connected well. I had this card, and in my experience unless you use a plyer or something to force it in place, it can look connected but cause problems.

Of course, it's always possible that the card is malfunctioning.
