I'm stumped

harlanm · 02-21-2008, 06:58 PM

I have an X2 64 6000+
600w Okia PS (don't know the amperage)
an Asus M2n-VM DVI mobo
2.5 gig pc 6400 kingston @ 800mhz
sata2 drive with 16meg cash and 160g
8600 ddr3 w/ 512
Fresh install of xp pro (2 weeks old)

When I run UT3 or Witcher or Crysis itrs real jerky.
The rest of my system runs really fast just the games. and not just the playing when you are setting up UT or Crysis Its just as jerky.
I have reinstalled drivers and games updated DX9c to latest
Anyway I can test and see where the problem is.
or fixing it?

what else can I do ?

what video card
look at the label on the side of the power supply for the line amps

The 600W Okia has 24 amps for +12V, too low for a PCIE card which needs at least 26 amps.

EDIT: Check the temperatures and PSU voltages during gameplay with SensorsView.

Those Okai units are also VERY low quality and do not output what they advertise.

Is there software to test the amperage, I put another PSU in the box I'm pretty sure is 500 or 600w and its 3 times heavier than the Okia I took out. Do I have to take it out again to look at the label? or is there some way to test amperage?
