Power supply & new video card problem

If the power supply wasn't putting out enough power, I would think it would shut off, not freeze. Probably a defective video card, but you'll only know for sure when you get the new one and put it in. You could get a bigger PSU as kensai said, since you'll probably need one soon, or if you're...

Power Supply Problem? Want to be sure.

Did you add anything new right before the problems started? It sounds like your system needs more current on the 12V rail (HDD's, ODD's, fans, and some video cards-though not the 9800-use 12V) than the power supply is willing to give out.

Random power shut-down problem

memory (prime95, memtest86), temps, PSU (I know you tried a different one, but perhaps that one is bad/not enough too). To check for shorts, one thing you can do is turn the lights off and look for sparks, but you can also take the mobo out and put it on a nonconductive material, like the...

Leave computer on 24/7 or turn off daily?

I pretty much do the same as Paul. Fast bootup, so turning it off and on wouldn't really matter, but I like to be able to just "hop" on whenever and get right to work. And just b/c you have a xxxW PSU, that doesn't mean it's gonna be sucking that much power all the time, just what it needs to...

How to unlock Pipelines and Vertex Shader on a 6800 (nu/le/gs)

Once you unlock the pipelines and vertex shader, do they remain unlocked even after reinstalling the OS (or if done in Windows, are they also going to be unlocked in Linux on a multi-boot system)? And what about if CMOS is reset? I would assume these things would have no effect on it and that...
