gidday mates, i had a bfg8800gt oc and it fried now in return i got a twintech9800gt oc with the gtx version heatsink. before everything worked fine now all the games i have played (like 5-6) play for about 5-10 minutes then freeze and the screen becomes a sloid color like brown blue pink black i cant get out of the games in anyway cant minimize or exit have to restart. i unninstalled the card cleaned the drivers and tried both the new 180.48 and 84 drivers and the same. i have a: c2d e6550 2.4 4gb ddr 3 sata hdds 1 dvddrive 4-5 fans in adition to 2 small fans on the GPU. and a hec 500td-tf PSU : HEC-500TD-TF : +3.3V : 30A 180W +5V : 30A +12V1 : 18A 420w +12V2 : 17A -12V : 0.3A 3.6W +5VSB : 2A 10W my old card would run up to 85c and worked fine this card runs at 50-60 so it cant be heat and shouldnt be power. anyone know what it might be?
The power supply unit in today's modern computer assumes a role probably more critical than any other single component in your system. A poor PSU can also cause other components to fail in your computer. The right Brand names = Quality Some approved Brand names follow... Seasonic - any model Corsair - any model Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only PC Power & Cooling - any model Silverstone - any model Unless you are into some serious gaming a 600 watt or higher will take care of your needs. If you are a serious gamer a 750 Watt, or a little higher will be all that you would need.
so your saying the games are freezing because of the PSU ? i disconnected all fans and hdds ecept the main one and it still happend so i dont think it has to do with power.
No I did not say that...I simply gave you information...For you to do what you want with it. The power supply plays a role that most people are unaware of.
