Hi all,
just wondering if anyone can help.
I have an idea of what might be causing this, but here goes.
I am an IT engineer by trade, so am not a Noob, but currently feel like one.
I recently updated my main PC to the spec shown on my siggy, not overclocked at all (doesn't like it) but even with all the latest drivers, older drivers, older bios, newer bios, etc - the bloody thing runs games (ie COD4 and Crysis) for about 5 - 10 mins then bombs to the good old BSOD, usually telling me it is a Driver_irql_less_then_or_equal.
Any ideas?
My only idea at this poiint is that maybe the PSU is not chucking enough juice down the 12V line to power the graphics card - any takers on that one?
Help, its driving me bloody mad!
Cheers
Andi
PS I am not running SLI configuration |

PSU!
Even if in non-SLI you DO have a 4pin floppy power plugged in next to the top PCI-e slot I'd bet the PSU.
Take care of that "nothing special" part and I bet it overclocks too.

Phew, have now fitted a 750w Kim-power PSU (a rather flash little devil) to my PC and it now runs everything, stable as a rock!
It is now overclocked to 11*220 (2.4gig per proc, so 10% increase on what it was) and it is as happy as the preverbial pig in s**t!
Cheers Rick, I needed someone else to confirm what I thought was the case - and away we go!
Take care all
Have a great New year!
