Hi Guys
I recently installed a geforce 9800 gx2 and am having lots of problems (you may have seen a few posts from me here before).

I now have installed a 1000w PSU and have finally got my pc to turn on. However, when my pc is running, it will run for a few minutes (5-10 before freezing with the sound looping in the background, and to turn it off i have to switch the power. This is regardless of whether i am playing a game or not

I have tried the following solutions:
- Underclocking - has no effect
- Turning fan up - if anything seemed to make it worse
- Updating all drivers (except BIOS, see later in post)
- Reinstalling card - Did this last night and the card worked for about an hour before freezing, now it freezes every 5 minutes again
- Turning anti-aliasing off - no effect

I have looked on many many gcard forums and lots of people with this or similar cards complain of similar problems, and some of them have managed to fix theirs by doing some of the above but mine is still not working.

There are two final options i have heard, as follows:

1. Update BIOS driver - Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial for this? Also, I have used a program to scan my bios and it says i have a 'Dixon Philips G33T_AM motherboard (american megatrends), and PLP_914 BIOS, but when i google these, nothing comes up. Can anyone tell me what BIOS i have?

2. People mention something about checking voltages in bios or something. I am a bit worried about fiddling round with voltages but if there is a good tutorial somewhere i will do this also.

I have now spent about £550 in total on trying to get this card to work and unless these options work i am going to have to bin the damn thing

Thanks guys

Hi could you go to User CP and fill in your computer specs and check show others please.

Could you check your temps:SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Please post results.

What is your cooling?If you overclocked GPU did you add extra cooling?

A lttle more information could help,thanx.

Sorry yeah will do that. i am at work at the mo so dont have all my specs.

I definately havent overclocked anything, the only thing i did was underclock in an attempt to get it working. I just have a 2 fans cooling the box and i have left it open for the air to get in. Rivatuner says the card isnt going above 50 degrees so i dont think its a heat issue.

I'll post my specs later
thanks

Thankyou will see your specs later.It could help the issues.

ok i added what i could. Half the problem is that i dont know my mobo i think and i am trying to work it out
