GeForce 5950 - Bad Card or Not Enough Power ?
I got a PNY Geforce 5900 AGP card, the bios is flashed to a 5950, and
I have the abit IT7 mobo, and "HAD' a 350 watt power sup, but soon found out it wouldn't suffice for the new card...as it would constantly just make a glitch click noise and the screen would fill with a solid pattern of orange or multicolored waves, and I would have to turn off the cpu, as a hard reboot still had the distorted screen upon restart. I checked on the PNY site and they said that this is common if the p.s. isn't adeq. SO I got a Antec 450watt...that was used and I think it might be iffy, as I had the card working for a good 4 weeks, it never does this lockup in safe mode, and I have tried over 15 drivers to see if that might help...but always when it will even be sitting at the desktop, it will just make a click and the cpu will freeze.. STuck as to what I need to try next ANy comments or suggestions are much appreciated |
