ti4600 issue

Zackrates · 08-22-2005, 12:10 PM

i have been using the ti 4600 very well for 4+ years, and now its been starting to freeze up on graphic intensive games that it never used to before. An example is HL2, when it first came out i could run it very smoothly, no problems what so ever, now when i try running it right now, it runs for about 30 seconds, then i start getting freezez for 4 secs every 10 secs or so, and then i start getting messed up graphics, this a psu problem or a heat problem, or neither? when i check my voltages with speedfan i get

2.46
3.34
4.94
then this is the weird part, for the 12v i get 0.0
any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Sounds like your PSU is bugging out. Grab a new one and give that a run before replacing what's an otherwise great card.

Heh, if you can get that game to actually RUN like it should.

um, can you recommend a good cheap power supply, im kinda low on cash, thanks

This is a good list of what's available. Personally I prefer Antec and Enermax. Spending less on a power supply, especially in a modern PC, can mean horrid performance and component failure.
