asylum geforce fx 5950 ultra issues

bioniccrackmonk · 04-06-2005, 11:20 AM

i received a new graphics card for my system and im experiencing some problems with it. at first when you turn on the computer everything works perfectly. however, when i play a game for a little while the game starts to get choppy and i see green pixels on the screen just before it goes blank. if i let it run for a couple seconds it flashes back on for second, and then flashes off again. i have tried 2 different drivers which included the newest one, but i get the same result for any game i play or if i just fool around on the internet for awhile.

asus a7n8x motherboard
amd athlon xp +3000

Sounds like what we come across on here a lot:
Overheating or insufficient power.

Could you post the specs on the 400W PSU please ? And try to open the case and have a big fan blow right at the card and see if it improves anything. Also closely inspect the card to make sure the fans are running and the heatsink has a tight fit to thegpu and memory chips.
