14A? That's not enough. 14*12= 168Watts on the 12v line. The card on its own, according to Nvidia, draws 150W max. That leaves 18W for everything else.

At the very least, that unit will die soon since it's running at 100% all the time. If it's a cheap unit (it is if that Amperage is accurate), it's possible it'll take out everything else along with it. Might even burn down the house.
