OK, my first post, as I expect of most its when you've got a problem that not even the A-Team could handle.
First my system.
500W PSU (+12v = 15amp)
AMD64 3000+ Newcastle
Gigabyte Nvidia MB
1024mb Ram - 2 x Ballistic PC 3200
DVD RW
DVD rom
BT wifi PCI
blah blah blah
I was running this system fine with a R9700 Pro, then it burnt out- KAPUTT- put my old R9200 and it all ran fine but no games.
I order a 6600gt card, 128mb AGP.
Fit it, connect additional power, fire it up.
All is OK, then I try and play Joint Ops....graphic test runs, enter game, play for 5 minutes then a game freeze. lasts for 30 seconds then its OK.
Went like that for a few days, then it gets worse, crashes to desktop, can't get game to even start. Then total crashes and a reboot. I cleaned out drivers and tried every Nvidia driver out there, still power off crash.
Then it even starts to power reboot when using t'internet.
Can't get a game to work, can't do anything for more than a few minutes.
Ring supplier, get return sorted and send it back.
They've tested it and its fine, plays Max Payne all nite apparently.
So I get this card back on Monday, any ideas what the FXXXs up.
