Having read these forums for over a year now and have found the information and advice given of great help. I decided to signup as I need some advice and hope you guys can help.
I have been building my own systems for a few years and my current set-up is as follows
Core 2 Duo E6600
4GB Corsair XMS2-6400
Gigabyte 965P DS3
Seasonic 500w PSU
2 * 500 GB Hitachi Deskstar HDD
Asus GeForce 7900 GT 256MB
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS
Antec P180
I decided to upgrade my graphics card to the 8800 GTX and from reading the posts I decided it would be sensible to upgrade my PSU.
So I decided on the Corsair HX 620W ATX 2.2 Modular PSU and the ASUS GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3 PCIE Dual DVI
(I went for the ASUS as I have never had a problem with them previously)
After I changed the PSU I ran the system with the current configuration (i.e. old card and it worked fine) the trouble came after I installed the new 8800 GTX. On power up I now get a high pitched tone coming from the card. I have attatched both the PCI-E power cables and tested both on my old card to check that both work and they power it ok.
I don’t think I have done anything wrong and think it’s a duff new card!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
