I've tried re-wiring the power plugs so that the 2 that go into the card aren't supplying anything else, will see if that works first... :?


forgive my n00bness, 2 plugs :?

will it not work with just the one from the psu?

It's a Gainward 7800GT 512mb jobby, got it's own power supply which is definitely plugged in!


Aha.. you spotted it!

The old PSU I had didn't have a PCIe power connector so it used two molex power plugs and a '2 into 1' adapter to plug into the one socket on the gfx card, the shiny new PSU has two proper PCIe power connectors as it's designed for a SLI set up, but i only need to use one of them to power my one card... it's all down to the first post being made with the old PSU in place, and the second one after I'd installed the new PSU.

Confused..? :P

Woohoo!

I think we may have a result... am sending the old 7800GT back and getting a refund for it... I couldn't see anything physically wrong with the mobo so guessed it might be the card that's shagged...

and have replaced it with a shiny new X1950XTX which so far seems to be running a treat, it's managed the FEAR stress test without resetting which is a good start.. (bloody well should be at £300 as well)... :D

Cheers for all the help and suggestions... :wink:
