Hi all,
My PC came in yesterday afternoon from OCUK:
- Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £0.00 1 £159.99
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.16GHz (1333FSB) - Retail £0.00 1 £119.99
- Asus P5Q-E Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £0.00 1 £104.99
- Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-620HXUK) £0.00 1 £79.99
- G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) £0.00 1 £61.99
- Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case £0.00 1 £39.99

- Tuniq Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775) £0.00 1 £37.99
- Samsung SH-S223F/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM £0.00 1 £12.99
- Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 120mm Fan - 3/4 Pin £0.00 1 £6.99
- Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) £0.00 1 £4.99
- City Link Parcel Next Day Afternoon (Delivered Mon-Fri): £16.05
This is my first setup, so I set it up over 5 hours last night and surprisingly it worked fine.
I have been using it for the first time today (about 2 hours so far) and while browsing the net, i got some funny screen activity.
1st time, it was a bunch of squares shimmering as i moved the cursor / other items. I shut down and booted up again.
It happened again after maybe 30 mins. This time it was the "blame it on the boogey" effect. I checked the graphics card temperature while this was happenening and it was at 77 C.
What do you think this could be?
