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.
