FX5200 causing 3.3 Voltage to drop
Hi all,
I just installed a new Inno3D FX5200 128MB card, replacing an old GF2 MX400 one. When I play 3D games (Medal of Honor, Battlefield 1942...) the 3.3 Voltage is getting low, and dropping bellow 3.0V My system is Celeron 1700, ASUS MB with SiS chipsets. I never had similar problem with the old GF2 MX400 card nor with GF4 MX440 one. Any idea ? What does it mean ? Thanks, Tal |

It could be a crappy power supply. I saw this same thing on an Abit system.
The power supply was bad causing the 3.3 volts to go low and the thing would intermittently reboot and sometimes not boot up. A new power supply fixed it. Dave "Tal Fucus" wrote in message ...

Dave Thanks for the reply, I suspect it is a power supply problem. The system does not reboot, but I do get sometimes errors while booting. Will leaving it as is effect the system in any way ?

Thanks, Tal If it is your weak PSU, then within a few days it will "break" and an energy spike will roast your motherboard, probably also your cpu and maybe even your harddisks! |
