I just got myself a AGP 6600GT graphics card. I know it's rather old, but it is better then my really old one that was in the computer.
The problem is that when i try to run games that have more then 32mb graphics ram requirements, my monitor blacks out and it doesn't come back (Meaning I have to restart.)..
I can run simple games like warcraft 3, but I can't run World of warcraft and games that have similar or higher graphics requirements..

I would really appreciate some help. ray:

your psu needs to output 18a or better on the 12v line

And how could I do that, if I may ask?.. Sorry I'm a total novice when it comes to computers.

Open the case and look on the label of the PSU.

Open the case and look on the label of the PSU.

It just shows a label, no instructions on how to change the output or anything, just the name ''ATX switching power supply''.. -.-

That what dai is asking for.

On the label what are the listings for +3.3V ,+5V ,+12V

You can't change it. If not sufficient you will need to upgrade the PSU.

You can't change it. If not sufficient you will need to upgrade the PSU.

So I checked the listings and it said
+3.3V /15A
+5V /26A
+12V /13A
With 350W..
Hope i did everything correctly.. -.-

As Dai has stated you need at least 18A on the 12V line.

The PSU that you have installed only has 13A

Big thanks for your patient explanation. I will make sure to get a new PSU.
