| 556511 | 2007-06-06 04:42:00 | Hmmm, I wouldn't assume its heat, feeling warm means nothing, it will feel warm. Scorching hot is another matter. I would suspect power except you have a nice Enermax thats more than capable of running it. Troubleshooting time I think. Tried another version of driver??? |

| 556512 | 2007-06-06 06:33:00 | Ah true... I never thought of that... With the GFX card being the biggest contributer to heat to the case other parts heat up due to the case temp... true... but even so doesn't it just turn off? cause that is what I have... when overclocking with my CPU setting the voltage too high and the temp hits 60°C the PC just powers off... no restarting... Oh well, different hardware will do different things :p | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 556513 | 2007-06-06 21:45:00 | I downloaded drivers for my card, released by nVidia on 17th May, and installed them last night. I tested Ghost Recon, which came with my new card, and didn't experience any sudden restarts. I am however still having the screen screwing up/pixelating after turning my computer on after a period of time and the Display Properties under Device Manager still reads 'This device cannot start (Code 10)'. Reinstalling the drivers again fixes this but it just keeps happening....:annoyed: |

| 556514 | 2007-06-06 22:10:00 | What happens if you try the other DVI header on the GFX card? Can you try another monitor? and see if that has the same issue... LCD or CRT will be fine |

| 556515 | 2007-06-07 02:59:00 | Reinstalling the drivers again fixes this but it just keeps happening....:annoyed: So if you have tried more than one version of driver and its still occurring I'd RMA the card. |

| 556516 | 2007-06-07 06:59:00 | I've just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the upteenth time and got it displaying correctly, I opened up BIOS and under the Advanced 'Tab' there is the entry 'Primary Video Adapter' and the options are 'PCI', 'PCI-E' or 'Onboard'. 'PCI' was selected, shouldn't it be 'PCI-E'..............:illogical | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 556517 | 2007-06-07 08:42:00 | Well yes, it should be PCI-E... you do have a PCI-E card... :rolleyes: But why you had PCI selected I don't know... though I am not sure it would matter... cause I have a PC here with a GFX card and onboard, I can swap between the onboard and card withOUT having to select anything in the BIOS... it is all automatic |

| 556518 | 2007-06-07 12:10:00 | Now my computer just beeps at me when I start it up, now I'm extremely worried :horrified Although all fans are going, including graphics card.......:help: |

| 556519 | 2007-06-07 20:40:00 | Well what is the beep code and what is the BIOS? that will tell you what has gone wrong... Aslong as the PSU is switched on (and power is flowing through the system) the fans will go, fans are not a good idication of why the system is not working | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 556520 | 2007-06-07 21:38:00 | Beep Code? It beeped once a second or so. I tried starting up again this morning but the weren't any beeps, everything sounded normal, although nothing was coming up on screen. I did change the BIOS setting from 'PCI' to 'PCI-E' last night, perhaps thats what done it? All I really care about is that I haven't fried my new graphics card or PSU as I'm building a new system and I'm giving away my current computer with the old parts in it. |
