Problems with XFX nvidia 6200 256 MB AGP.

[kalpik]

Hi!

I have just bought a new XFX nvidia 6200 256 MB AGP card. The problem is when i play games at high resolution (even 1024 x 786), the whole system just hangs, and i have to reset manually. I think its a problem with the power supply. Its not adequate. I have a microtek 330W SMPS. Advice appreciated!!

Thanks.

What mobo ru using and what r da other devices attached, viz, HDD, CD Drv, USB devices etc?? This may b due 2 low rated SMPS, those SMPS r actually lower rated than whts printed on their cover, 330W MTek SMPS will give u probably 200W or so. U can check ur card with ur frnds machine having higher power rating, or get a good one, viz, Antec or VIP.

Im using MSI nForce3 micro ATX board. I have 1 maxtor sata hdd (120 gb), 1 sony combo drive, 1 floppy drive. Thats it. How much will a decent SMPS cost me??

Thanks.

first try updating ur graphic card drivers and then check for any problems...

Im running latest forceware v81.85 WHQL. So the problem's not there. Even tried a few older versions!

Forceware 81.85 sux, too many probs try 78.xx

already tried 77.77 WHQL. Could it be that the problem lies in the graphics card? Or is it just the SMPS at fault?
