Hello everybody. I got a little help from you not long ago, but now I am back asking for more advice
I have got my new rig up and running, and I am playing games like never before. But I problems with one game, and that is everquest 2. This game will on a high settings cause the pc to hang, and show artifacts on the screen.
The rig I am using is the following:
1) AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.4GHz Socket AM2
2) Corsair Value S. PC4200 DDR2 2048MB
3) Asus M2N-E, nForce 570 Ultra
4) XFX GeForce 7900GT 520M Xtreme
The PSU says its good enough for 350w max output.
I have a very good fan on the gpu, and ram coolers on the card, so I dont think its the gpu itself that is the problem. Other games, like FEAR with everything enabled and softshadows on never causes artifacts to show or hang, so for my part that excludes the gpu.
One of you told me that the 12v rail should have at least 18amp. My only got 17. So I am wondering if the faults that I am seeing may be because the psu is not giving handing out enough "umph" to the gpu. Can a psu with to little power cause hang ups, artifacts, hard locks etc ?
Thank you in advance for any answers and advice.
