Hey guys,
I was previously using a EVGA GTX 280 and it suddenly started turning my screen into weird red and green pattern after reaching the windows desktop screen. I assumed that my old GPU was dying and it was time to get a new one.
So I went ahead and purchased EVGA Gtx 760 Superclocked. I uninstalled all previous Nvidia drivers and installed the new ones. I noticed now that when starting up the PC it seems to take a bit for the power to kick into the hard drive. Now the PC randomly shuts down during use and if I try to turn it back on immediately the whole thing shuts down again seconds after the fans turn on. And whenever I try to restart the computer, it won't power back on automatically it just shuts down and i have to power it back on manually.
When I am able to get into a game the frame rate is extremely low even on medium to low settings. Games like World of Warcraft won't even break 20fps.
Does this sound like the card is the problem or maybe a bad power supply or bad motherboard? Please help me out. I've gone through the checklist you guys have of things to look for and I didn't notice any of those problems.
Here's the rest of my pc:
Case: Antec P193 Gunmetal Gray Aluminum / Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Power Supply: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W
CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601920
Memory: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
Let me know if you need any other information!
