9600GT problems

benji198 · 08-24-2009, 02:19 AM

Hey everyone.

A couple of months ago I built a new PC out of New parts and my graphics card was a gigabyte 9600GT with 512 MB of DDR3 memory. For the first few weeks I could play any game without a problem. MY hardware meets all the system requirements of the games.

Then one day it started going all weird in games like it has random spikes coming out of the textures like the game wasn't made properly but this happens on most of my games. Sometimes the games crash as well.
I updated the drives on my graphics card and cleaned it and ran my computer with side of the case off and a fan blowing straight onto the card and it desen't matter weather I have the cover on or not it stays at around 40*C.

My power supply is 550W I have 3 gigs of DDR3 Ram I have a intel core 2 duo 2.8 Ghz. BTW I have not overclocked my graphics card and with these problems the game run smoothly it's just they have the spike and random textures. This problems also happens on windows 7 build 7100 and windows xp professional service pack 3. I have updated directx.

And, the brand name is?

I don't know where you took the temps from, but if not the bios, then check both temps and voltages in there and report them back.

My power supply is antec.
I got my temps from rivatuner and gigabyte gamer hud.

Tumbleweed36 · 08-24-2009, 07:58 AM

Do check the bios for the temps and voltages to be sure. What model of Antec do you have?

benji198 · 08-24-2009, 04:56 PM

I have checked the Bios and the temperature are all between 30*C and 41*C.
Sorry I keep getting my case and power supply mixed up, The company of my power supply is GW power supply and the model is 550SEL. I think the voltages are all normal because I haven't changed any of them in the bios or in easytune 6.

In the bios look for the 12v, 5v and 3.3v readings(they are not adjustable) to make sure they are in spec.

benji198 · 08-24-2009, 07:09 PM

These are the readings
Vcore 1.220V
DDR15V 1.760V
+3.3V 3.344
+12V 11.985

Tumbleweed36 · 08-24-2009, 07:51 PM

You missed the +5, so post that also. I know it is easy to do, so ship it on our way.

benji198 · 08-24-2009, 10:31 PM

There is no +5 there is only the ones I have said above

benji198 · 08-26-2009, 03:22 AM

It does have +5V it just wasn't listed in the bios and the measurement for that is 5.03V. Are these wrong? if they are wrong and they are doing bad stuff for my video card is there a way to fix it.

**wrench97** · 08-26-2009, 01:43 PM

Are you using a sensor program to get the 5v reading?
If so what does it show for the 3 readings under load, while playing a game in windowed mode in windows

benji198 · 08-27-2009, 12:17 AM

yeh I did it's called sensors view pro 3.2.
I will post soon what the reading is when playing a windowed game

benji198 · 08-27-2009, 02:25 AM

They all stay the same when i am playing a game

**wrench97** · 08-27-2009, 12:56 PM

The same as the Bios readings

benji198 · 08-28-2009, 12:03 AM

yes they are the same as the bios readings

**wrench97** · 08-28-2009, 01:37 AM

Voltage and temps are good then it's going to be a problem with the video card.
It should be under warranty contact Gigabyte to RMA it.

benji198 · 08-28-2009, 04:32 AM

yeh ok I will return it.
