Just today, I started getting this error message, which i've never seen before :confused: I haven't changed any hardware or overclocked the cpu of graphics card and the PSU rails are solid (Tagan 480w). It's been running stable for the past 5months. Any ideas what could be causing it?

It doesn't appear to have made any difference to the graphics.
 
I tried jiggling the power cables about but it didn't appear to click back into place. I'll see what happens tho :) What else could it be if not the power cable?
 
6800GT - Is it something that will just pop up every now and then or does it actually mean there is something wrong with the card?
 
Try reinstalling the drivers (use driver cleaner)

It could mean something is starting to get a bit dodgy, but it's by no means a definite thing. Does it still play 3D games fine? Benchmarks still up to expected levels?
 
It's not looking good :( Twice today my monitor has just gone blank whilst the computer carries on running (music playing). Then when the computer starts up again, the screen is all gobboldy gook :eek:

If I give it a sec, then it's ok again. It's bizarre though, as it was fine after I played a 20min CS:Source session. The two times the monitors has gone blank, all I was doing was surfing the web or talking on msn :confused: Any ideas to pinpoint the problem? Or should I just RMA it?
