Just bought a Inno3D GeForce 6600 GT 128MB AGP. Not until I figured it needed extra power from the PSU (doesn't say so in the manual, only for 6800 series), I got into Windows with my new graphics card. But, after just a few minutes the system froze. It doesn't restart or anything, just freezes. I can't move the mouse, use the keyboard, or anything. OK, I figured my PSU was too small (300W), so I bought a new one - COLORSit 500W - with these outputs:
+3.3V_____28A
+5V_____35A
+12V_____25A
-5V_____0.5A
-12V_____0.8A
+5VSB_____2.5A
Should be ok?
I installed Battlefield 2 ("yay finally I can try this demo!", I had a GeForce 4600-Ti before) and played for a few hours. Then I shut my computer down. Later that evening I was going to do some other stuff on my computer, but it locked/froze, same as before. Tried everything, testing different memory-sticks, different hard-drives, unplugging hard-drives and optical drives (to lower power-usage), but it still didn't work.
What can be wrong? It even freezes at start-up sometimes (at graphics BIOS-screen, at BIOS-screen, at Windows loading-screen etc.).
I know my motherboard can't handle 8x AGP, but it can handle 4x... and I could play for a few hours so that shouldn't be the problem?
Also it can't be a cooling-problem. Even if I have my system shutdown for a few hours, it can crash like 1-2 seconds after start-up.
Please help me! ;O
This is my current setup:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4, 2533 MHz (19 x 133)
Memory: 1024 MB DDR400
Motherboard: Albatron PX845E Pro (http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/mb/overview.asp?pro_id=17)
Display monitor: LG Flatron 915FT Plus
Hard drive: Western Digital WD800JB-00CRA1 ATA100
Sound Card: Intel 82801DB(M) ICH4(-M) - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-1]
Other adapters:
NEC DVD-RW ND-2510A
LG DVD-ROM DRD8160B
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
System BIOS: Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG

PS. Everything works fine when I change back to my old graphics card so I guess it can't be anything wrong with my motherboard/memory-sticks? This is frustrating!
