The error seems pretty clear:

Code:
The NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 does not have the necessary external power cables attached

If you've verified that the cables are attached, perhaps the power supply is no longer supplying enough power.

Impossible. None hardware change for years now. I had the same problem in the past and solved with the next nvidia-driver update. I am sure that is not hardware's problem.
 
Hardware does go bad over time, particularly years. Try a different power supply, or if you insist it's a bug, report it to nvidia.

Adam
 
Probably is a bug. My power supply work just fine. I have no problems and my computer is not too old. Is 4 years. Plus my power supply is corsair 620W. I don't believe that is hardware's problem.
 
If the software suddenly starts to report hardware problems, it's worth at least opening the case and looking for problems. Maybe the power cable has come loose, maybe the capacitors on the video board have failed.
 
Are you using the proprietary drivers? I am an ATI (now AMD) user. Just recently I rebuilt the drivers on Linux, and Xorg stopped working, and I think I had to rebuild it or something, or was it that after Xorg update, I had to rebuild drivers ...

I any case, try to rebuild x11/xorg, with some other ports that are connected to it, with your favorite ports utility:
Code:
portupgrade -Rrf x11/xorg
portmaster -Rr /usr/ports/x11/xorg
 
Everything is ok now. Didn't make good contact the cable on the graphics card. Yes. Strange but can happen. Now I have my Xserver up again and running just perfect :D
