Thanx for all the positiveness guys and thanx for that bit of info Farlight gives me a glimmer of maybe changing things up a bit
 
Hiya peoples!

3 more days and I'm on vacation for a week, can't freakin' wait! Still a lot of stuff I have to do before the week runs out though :)

All the best AT, sucks to hear that man :/
 
[MENTION=12147]8sh[/MENTION] Did you find out what the problem is with your graphics card?

Morning, duu...

Naw, not yet.

What I did notice was, is that Windows crashes on startup, as evidence by the half-a-second-Windows-7-intro-tone-before-a-constant-'grrrrrrrrr...'-sound.

Bare in mind (my new phrase now, apparently...), the only peripherals I could DC were the fans and DVD Writer, which really is not much.

Having had my old card running fine (albeit 5 minutes) and my current one not can well be an indication of not enough power (current) delivery to the card. Something else I noticed; the dB level of the system (since the card is rather quiet in itself) dips dramatically. Sound remains consistent when booted up without the card installed.

My colleague is now going to run tests to verify my theory of lack of power draw.

I'm now just waiting on his input.

Do I need a new PSU or new GPU - only time will tell. Could very well be a formatting of Windows that needs to be taking place, but that's a last resort.
 
Good luck! I hope it's something simple that everything runs smoothly again soon.

Man, not having a solid gaming PC is troubling - putting it lightly. But I'm now seeing how my PC performs without a PCI-E GPU.

I'd say fair. It's not preferable, it's not great, but it more or less gets the job done.
 
It's the Acronym thread, s'got you by the balls. :D

Solitude is higher than I on the standing. :wtf:

I just look at MyGaming and end up first on the leaderboards these days. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm here over weekends. All alone. Eating flowers.
