Graphic glitches since I installed GeForce 7600 and game crashes

Raiden16 · 10-05-2006, 10:09 PM

Ever since I installed my GeForce 7600 some of my games ive been playing have been having glitches in its graphics here are some examples:

Also my games have been crashing lately also

Btw I believe I have all the latest drivers for my GeForce 7600 GS, the Nvidia site is a little confusing for me on which driver I choose from, if someone could tell me what the lastest Driver is for GeForce 7600 GS that would be nice so I could just double check.

This doesn't appear as a driver problem IMHO reinstall the graphic's card and does the card use passive or fan cooling.

Raiden16 · 10-05-2006, 11:01 PM

its fan, and sorry im a noob but how would I reinstall my whole graphics card?

~~OMGmissinglink~~ · 10-05-2006, 11:10 PM

Unplug your pc then remove the side panel, remove one screw there sould be one small clip towards the rear of the graphics card then remove the card and reinsert the card firmly in the sli socket.

Raiden16 · 10-05-2006, 11:14 PM

ok well I kno how to do that, i dont have to do any uninstalling on my PC? just taking out the graphics card then put it back in?

~~OMGmissinglink~~ · 10-05-2006, 11:21 PM

yes should work.

If re-seating the card doesn't work, post your system specs. What I need to know mostly is what your power supply is. When you have your side over off, report back the make, model, and all the power information on your power supply. If you can, take a picture of the lable and post it here, that would be easiest. Also, download sensorview in my signature, install it, and report back the temperatures of your system while it's just sitting doing nothing and after you've had a game playing for 10 to 15 minutes.

What sounds like to me is either your power supply is inadequate to power your new power hungry card or your new power hungry card is getting really hot because there isn't enough cooling in your case......or both!

Sorry that this is a late response hope you still remember this thread ><

well heres some pics of my power supply I kno you probably cant read it but Ill throw them in anyways and list all the information the sticker says on it:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...es/closeup.jpg

Power supply:
Name- Allied
Model: AL-A350ATX MAX 350w

Voltage Current Frequency
AC-Input 115/230v~ 8A/4A 60/50Hz

Max DC +3.3V +5V +12V -12V -5V +5VSB BLK GRN GRY

Output 28A 35A 16A 0.8A 0.3A 2A COM PS-ON P.G

Combined 200W
Power- 330W 9.6W 1.5W 10W RETURN REMOTE POK

After about 15 mins of game play the temps are:

SYS: 35 Degrees celcius / 95 degrees faranheit
Aux: 50 degrees celcius/ 121 degrees faranheit
HD0: 36 degrees celcius / 97 degrees faranheit

Temperatures of doing nothing:

SYS: 35 degrees celcius / 95 degrees faranheit
AUX: 42 degrees celcius / 108 degrees faranheit
HD0: 38 degrees celcius / 101 degrees faranheit

you definatly should upgrade the PSU.

350w is an absolute minimum for your system. I would recommend somewhere around 500w and up and a quality brand name with more then 20amps on the +12v rail. 16amps on that rail arent sufficient enough to power everything.

look for a company like coolermaster or sylverstone. Thermaltak makes also quality PSU's and if you need any hints on what to buy i will post some links later.

~~OMGmissinglink~~ · 10-07-2006, 10:03 AM

the graphic's card functioning as you've posted on your previous post or has that problem been resolved?

Raiden16 · 10-07-2006, 11:50 AM

Ya some links would be helpful

~~OMGmissinglink~~ · 10-07-2006, 12:15 PM

links to graphic's cards or psu links?

Raiden16 · 10-07-2006, 01:43 PM

PSU, im fine on graphics card

Raiden16 · 10-07-2006, 02:22 PM

Do you know if this would be possible for me to install myself? Is it that difficult or no?

**koala** · 10-07-2006, 06:14 PM

PSUs are easy to install. Make a note of where the connectors go from your original PSU and match them up to the new one.

**gamerman0203** · 10-09-2006, 08:56 AM

CPU temps are WAAAAAY out of this world!! You need to (inaddition to a new PSU) cool that puppy down!!! Clean any dust out of the inside. Buy more fans and install them where your case allows. Also, just in the mean time, try opening the side of your case and place a desk fan blowing into it. See if this makes any difference with the temps. You really need to cool it down. That is also part of the problem.

Raiden16 · 10-09-2006, 06:22 PM

What are my average temps suppose to be? Ive been using a fan lately. Is the overheating causing me to crash or causing my graphics to glitch?

**Fr4665** · 10-10-2006, 01:32 AM

what cpu are u using i cant find it in the thread ... i have a p D aaaand idle temps 48-50 and then load !!! 60 !!! yeah im getting new heatsink today haha

**gamerman0203** · 10-10-2006, 06:57 AM

well ok, I over reacted slightly.

those temps aren't that bad I guess, but they are still pretty hot! idle should be in the high 20's to 30's depending on cpu and load should be high 30's to 40's.
