Hey
Ive solved a few problems with this site before so i thought i would give this a go
My System;
BFG NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT OC2 512MB
2GB Kingston RAM
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 2.6ghz dual-core
Asus M2N68
550W ATX 12V Colors-IT PSU
rails;
+3.3V at 28A
+5V at 35A
+12V at 30A
-5V at 0.5A
-12V at 0.8A
+5VSB at 2.5A
Voltages from PC Wizard
CPU = 1.38 V
+3.3V = 3.33 V
+5V = 6.85 V
+12V = 12.42
Problem:
My first PSU was a 500W Antec Earthwatt EA-500D and I realised after buying the components this wasnt up to scratch of my GPU, so I changed it to a more powerful one, which more than fits the bill by my knowledge? (readings above)
Everything went well and I got everything together, but I am getting a high pitched whine from the GPU. I have checked it's the GPU because I took it out and the noise was completely gone.
I also stopped all fans so I have rulled this out aswell.
Graphics are up to date, Windows XP Home loaded fine, and I contacted BFG and they told me to check my Voltages, PSU and then I got the response to RAM it. I am just wondering if it isnt as simple as just a faulty card and I am missing something, as it will take a while to get a new card back if it is just a setting.
note;
i have connected the power connector at the side of the card so it is recieving enough power, as i did get a warning message then plugged this in and it solved that.
I dont woant to go taking the card apart as for one im not cnfident enough and i dont want to risk damage.
Any advice would be fantastic
Thanks
