Guys i have been haveing nothing but problems ever since i installed this Nvidia 8800GTX in my system.......
the errors are programs just crashing for no reason and a lot of bluescreen stop errors.
I underclocked all my hardware to stock and its doing the same thing
i tryed to figure out what was the cause... i ran memtest and did a loop of test 5 and 6 and no errors. *hardest stress test,test*
I then looked at my PSU....
and the rails are kinda lowish im just wondering could this be why all my problems are happning even though i thought a OCZ 700W Gamextreme PSU would be enough for 1 GTX...
at idle these are my rails:
3.3v = 3.25v
5+v = 4.85v
12+v = 12.22v
now to my understanding the graphics card is useing my 12+v right and it looks fine ???? so why the low 3.3 and 5+vs ??????
what could be sucking the life from those
what do those rails use ?
also when i swaped out my ati card for this card when i first powered up my psu shutdown when i powered it and for about 10 minutes it kept on doing the same thing it was like it was sucking the life out of the psu,,,
then i finaly got the system up and running with pure luck and ever since its been constently bluescreening and crashing on programs....
and when at stock its being doing the same thing.. its weird becuse this psu should take the load, it took the load on my ATI card that had before it and worked perfectly but then again becuse of the huge power requirements of these g80s the psu could have gave in or the psu could have been weakened with the ati card but worked and then finaly it couldnt take the stress of the g80...
