what make is your 650 watt supply and what are its details??

it could be that, or the card.

clean out your fans, it may help, seems like a heat related issur, get a compressor, take the cover off yopur computer, take your comkputer out side and give it a good blow out, areas of interest, cpu fan, graphics card blower fan, psu, fan covers/grills/mats

I've never heard of this Dynamo PSU, it must be some generic brand. Check how many Amps it has on the +12Volt rails.

You've got a Pentium D running at 3.4 GHz. You should have at least 26 Amps on the +12V rails.

 

[blade85]

actually i would say 30 amps more like it with the x1950

ok now im f*cked up! just checked it, and it only has 22amps!!!dammit its so hard to pick good pc parts here in the philippines since stocks are very limited and not so much on variety...im not sure they sell heatsinks here either! T_T

anyway, thanks for the info. any idea what good power supply would suit my pc...thanks!
