Hi guys,
Problem: When GeForce 3 is put into one of the computers the computer is running extremly hot.
It's a qdi brillianX IV 440BX motherboard, a 2 processor board, has 2 x P3 600mhz 2.05V, Riva TNT 2 AGP 3.3V video card, holywood plus decoder card, soundblaster live card, a 40 gb 3.5 Hard Drive, an LG DVD burner and 3 x 256MB SDRAM 3.3V. (Network card and a scsi card are built into the motherboard)
This system is equiped with a 300W power supply with an auxilliary connector (dual connectors as needed per motherboard). (Please note when this system was built there were 250, 200 and perhaps 150W power supplies in use.)
Anyway this system is running very cool and stable untill I replace the Riva TNT 2 with a GeForce 3 Ti 200. Then the computer overheats. Some of the devices get extremly hot, cpus for example - to hot to touch, the hard drive as well. The system starts crushing.
When put into another computer this Geforce 3 card or even a Geforce 4 card are running okey.
The other computer is a single CPU Pentium III 933mhz. Has a sound blaster live card, a PCI network card, a 40 GB Hard drive, a DVD drive, 3 x 3.3V memory. And is equiped with a 300 W power supply.
I think that I may or may not be experiencing voltage problems with the qdi motherboard - would this be the problem causing the computer to overheat dramatically when with GeForce 3? or is it something else?
Please advice, thanks.
