Geforce FX 5600 locks up my comp whenever I try to play a game.
"Ryan Cossette" wrote in message news:xuKEa.1157486$F1.138394@sccrnsc04...
As soon as I got my Geforce FX to run in agp mode instead of pci mode, now it just freezes my computer when ever I try to play any games. Doesn't matter which game I play or what settings I use. I have a kt333 dragon ultra platiunum motherboard, about 1.4 gigs of ram, a phenoix bios. And I have the newest drivers for my card, and the newest chipset drivers for my motherboard. I'm totally lost as to what could be making this happen. please help. Ryan Were you ever able to figure out what made your system lock up? I just bought a FX5600 card and now I'm thinking your problem may become mine. The first one they sent me had bad memory on the card so I only registered 128MB of video ram. Thanks |

Sounds like a possible power problem. Wat is the rating of your power
supply. FX cards need more power. Many FX card manufacturers recommend 350 watts minimum. regards B "Searchin_For_Answers" wrote in message om...

Sounds likely. Any GeForce FX should have at LEAST a 350 Watt power supply,
400+ would be better. Ron "B" wrote in message ... Sounds like a possible power problem. Wat is the rating of your power supply. FX cards need more power.
