ok well thanks very much for your help i'll let you go now picked your brain enough. apart from....HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro ICEQ 3 TURBO SILENT Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-065-HT) just found this for sameish money and itsthe latest one yeah or no??
Another question being thrown someones way!!! been reading some old threads and found one about another graphics card installation etc etc.. and they where on baout fitting a new power supply to it. would that be the case with my issue??
well the system would struggle to power everything. If your just running 1 or 2 hard drives 1 optical drive and the card unless its a seriously rubbish psu it will work.One thing to watch for is if your mobo now has a 20 pin and the new one demands a 24 pin atx power supply.If you fancy a day out ill do it all for you for a nominal charge.?(unless of course your 200 miles away then you should maybe find someone closer lol )
My nvidia displays a nice warning when it's not getting enough power... something along the lines of certain features being disabled due to lack of power. You click OK, and another pop-up appears to replace it just as quickly.
That's how I knew it was time to replace my PSU (shame cause it was a very nice, virtually silent Antec 380W, but it just didn't want to work with my card )
