Lo all, after some advice please.
I have an oldish rig, hvent changed anything for months n months, Nvidia 8800GT running off a 580W Hiper X PSU
Was happily playing games last night when all of a sudden my screen froze like the pc had hung. I reboot go into event ID and event ID 14 is listed - nv - Unknow error on CMDre. After a few google searches i see that it can be the card has gone or its not getting enough power - is there any way to tell?
Now after a reboot its fine, until i go to load a game then the same thing happens..
I am due to build a new PC but waas hoping to wait for the new ati cards at the end of the month so want to get a work around going if i can
Oh forgot to say iupdated drivers to latest after after the crashes as well, same thing when i launch a game.
