x1900GT Problems

[RizzyWho]

Hi,

Recently moving back from Spain to the UK, i have had loads of issues with my x1900gt graphic card. The power supply is sqweeking due to the 3.3+ underpowering. My graphic card crashes and destorts the screen in bright colours and "sumtimes" the vpu recovers it and tells me " device (Graphic card) stoped responding". I was wondering if the traveling on the way back has physicaly broke the card, would it be the power supply lettng the device down or is the graphic card bust?

The PSU i have is 400w with a 12v @ 18amps

Thanks

You need a new psu. 18amps is not nearly enough. 30a or a little less

my sapphire x1900GT is a POS literally. I have a corsair hx520 and i get graphical errors, artifacting, and other **** all the time and i know my card is getting enough power. Im just waiting 2 more weeks to buy a 8800 GT.
