Hey guys, I am replacing my motherboard, going from a soyo 865pe to a msi 865pe. Will i need to reinstall winxp or is it possible my old install will work?

I have half a notion to just replace the motherboard thereby forcing an O/S reinstall, if the card doesnt work after that, it's gotta be the card. Everything else in my system has been replaced lately lol.

Probably, but that doesn't fix my voltages.

Ok, put my new power supply in and I still get the same voltages and same problems. Still 11.37 on the +12 side and .5 on the -12 side. Come to think of it, everything is low. Is this the sign of a dying motherboard? Maybe the voltage regulators are shot? Or capacitors?

I bought a seasonic power supply today from a local vendor. It was all they had. 400 watt dual rail unit. 29 watts or something like that. I'll put it in when I get home...it should do the trick.

Thanks man! How bad is it to keep running my system? How bad is this for the hard drives with this crappy power?

Hi Guys, Thanks for your help so far. I just got off the phone with eVGA tech support and they checked all my IRQ's. All my cards are on different ones so its not that. He had me install a program called "speedfan" to check PSU voltages. We think we found the problem. Tell me what you guys...

A reccomendation would be nice...It's for a soyo 865 board if it matters. two hard drives, 1 dvd burner, and 3ghz p4 chip, a sound card, and a nic.

The +12 rail says 18A GPS-350BB-104D is the Enlight p/s model number NFS says no patch available when I check for it. I have also blue screened twice now since installing this card when the system is just at idle overnight. How can I test the card to see if it is what is causing the...

I have the molex connector plugged in and it is the only plug on that line plugged in I did reverify that it was plugged in last night by reseating it. The drivers are version 81.94 on eVGA's site. I also tried the latest whql drivers on nvidia's site..thats what I started off with. Whats...

Testing with 3dmark05. The card is totally stock, have not tried to do anything but make it work the way it is supposed to. The power supply is from an enlight case, its a 350 watt p/s not sure of the model right now.

Hi guys, I just put a eVGA 6800 Vanilla agp card in my system. I can play SOF II at 1280x1024 resolution just fine. I can run 3dmark just fine and get a score of about 3400. When I try to play Need for speed most wanted at high resolutions I get crazy video distortions and strange colored...
