XFX Geforce 6600GT reboots machine

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I tried one of their bundled games - EA sports Nascar - and it reboots the
computer every time. It also happens frequently during games of Pirates.
Changing to lower res does not alter this behavior. I downloaded the latest
driver but still no luck. Any ideas? I sent XFX an inquiry and I am waiting
for them to answer.

I run XP Pro with an 8x agp board with 512MB and P4 2.8Ghz

Over heating maybe? try going into bios turn off fast writes and see what
happens....

1) Connect the AGP card to the PSU (at least 350 Watt, I suggest Enermax)
2) Disable "Fast Write" in the bios
3) Set AGP Aperture Size in the bios at "128MB"
4) Set PCI latency in the bios at "64" (if available)
5) Download PCI latency tool and set the AGP card to 64

Sounds very very similar to my problem! - still no solution for me. See post
"Game Loading Rebooting 6600GT", some people have suggestions that may help
you, but going by my experience you'll be lucky.
