Thanks man.

Here's an update: Well guys, after much deliberation I decided to upgrade to a new power supply. Bought a Antec TruePower 2.0 550watt deal. I was so excited when it arrived from Newegg. Installed it yesterday and I'll be damn if things didn't get worse. Windows would freeze either just before...

Here's some more detailed info for you guys. I ran a game just now for 5 minutes or so. Looked pretty good at a fairly high resolution (can't remember the numbers) and then I jumped out and took these readings. (GPU Core of 6800XT)...56C Never got any higher. There is a monitor chart that is...

Thanks for that idea. I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier but I did follow your advise. My voltage never seems to go below 11.85. But what is the voltage when the game does crash? I can't look at my chart then because I have to reboot the PC to get out of the FREEZE. Yeah....those kids. You...

Well gentlmen, I loaded that beta driver and it did help a little. I can play a game (MOH) for 30 seconds or so (before that it was more like 2 seconds), then the game freezes. I reboot, and everything is OK......until I get in a game. I've been running the PC all day, it works fine...until I...

Yes, I did plug in the power connector. I thought I had read that a 350PS was enough but in this case, you may be right. But wouldn't my system shut down if it were a power issue? It's just freezing when I go to a game. Hummm.

I just installed this as an upgrade from my old GeForce Ti200. The problem I'm having is I can't play games now without the screen freezing. I have to reboot the PC, go back to my desktop and start over again. Windows seems fine. No trouble there. It's just gaming that's giving the card...

Oops. Sorry about that. I did do a search on my motherboard but I didn't on interface speed. Duh me. :lol: Like I'm new to forum searches or something. Heh. :lol: Motherboard? It's an ole Soyo SY-K7V Dragon Plus. I've got a GeForce Ti200 on her right now with an AMD XP 1900 processor and 512MB...

Can I use a video card with an interface speed of 8x on a motherboard that only supports 1x/2x/4x?

My first post here. Good looking forum with lots of info. I've got the upgrade bug and am having a problem figuring out what video cards will work on this board. Can you use an 8x card on a board that only supports 1x/2x/4x modes? If so, are there advantages or is it just a waste of money...
