Hi guys.
My psu blew the otherday so i bought a new one. My system only needs 500w to run but i bought 650w to be safe.
While i was there i picked up a new cooler for my graphics card as the fan as been noisy as hell for ages and it went out of 2 year warranty a week or so ago.
I replaced it and now my graphics card is cutting out at 64 degrees.
Basically i cant run any 3D applications without it crashing to a grey screen of vertical lines.
Its an ATI 4890HD.
Last time i had this problem was when i had a 4850 and it did the same, they replaced it and it did the same again so i got this 4890 and its always been fine. Its always ran above them temps with no problems.
Any idea how to fix this? Has the bios reset to something weird?
I cant even open FurMark without it dying.
Edit: The 12v connector on this psu is only 4 pin not 8 like the last one, could this be causing it? I looked online and people have been saying 4 pin with this mobo should be ok, but thought was worth mentioning.
Last PSU had 2x 6pin pcie cables, this one only has one, so i have the other 6 pin required for the card running off 2 molex adapter.
system:
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 810 2.6GHz
OCZ Reaper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-14400 (1800MHz)
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
ATI 4850HD
2x 160gb HDD sata
1x 1tb HDD
Case:HAF with 3x230mm fans, 2x140mm fans.
