So i went and got a Evga gtx460, first day everything ran fine, now its crashing during anything 3d, its almost instant now. No BSOD, just black screen with sound loop for 10sec then black until i manually restart. Then sometimes when i use reset button the gfx card fan revs up and down with no display. It gradually got worse over the last two days. My old rig has done me well for medium gaming and everything in between.
current specs:
Gigabyte k8n-sli (nf4)
a64 x2 4200+ @2.67ghz
2x1gb OCZ platinum ddr500
EVGA GTX460 1gb
1tb baracuda
apeiva 500w @+3.3V@17A, +5V@25A, +12V1@16A, +12V2@18A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3.0A
Only reason i got the gtx460 was because my x1900xtx failed me after 5 years of use.
Yes i know this setup is ancient and im upgrading soon, but i preordered black ops and BAM my vid cards takes a poop, then i cant play black ops on release day because im waiting for my 460 and now its crashing instantly. Does anybody know of any fixes? that could make my day!!!
should i rma this card or is it my psu? My PSU only has a single pcie connector but im pretty sure 2 molex carrys the same voltage as a single 6pin. My amp rating on 12v rails is well within requirements for the card as well. I also have only a harddrive with no optical drives.Ive also read about this card not agreeing with old chipsets.?..?..
edit: tried driversweeper as well, used 260.xx drivers, same thing.
within next couple days going with am3, x3 740 then unlock it to 4 cores with some ddr3. Got a asrock picked out that has unlock feature.
Thanks for any help
