Today ive just received my new 7900GTO and i installed it. All was looking fine, done a benchmark went fine, then i decided to play some Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter played it for about 30mins then all of a sudden the computer just flicked off not a restart just lost all power, i went to turn it back on it started up for 1 second then off again, i had to switch it off at the mains then it started up and i got something about a boot disk faliure , restarted again and it loaded into windows.

Does anyone know what could cause this sort of thing, im really annoyed i thought it had all went well and i was happy with it
 
Can you put your old card back in and see if its to do with the gou. Do you still have the standby lights on, on the board when turned off? Whats the psu?
 
Well ive had the other Graphics card (6800GS) in for a year and its never happed. My mate said it could be the PSU as it is a cheap one (500W) ATX2.0 , only cost £20...what do you think :confused:
