Dear All,
I am having problems with a new HD3870 graphics card. I play Colin Mcrae for anything between 1min and 90mins and I get a blank screen. The game carries on in the back ground; I can hear the music and engine responds to the throttle - but no visuals. I have VPU recover on so I guess this is catching it.
I have a 400W PSU with 20A on a single 12V rail. Could this be the issue or is the card faulty?
If it is the PSU, could someone reccomend a decent one that is not too expensive? I have looked at lots of guide but they predominantly describe USA models in USA shops.
Other components are a 4800+ 64x2 AMD processor, 2x2GB DDR2, a DVD/CD, standard floppy, 1x160GB HD and a X-FI sound card.
Thanks for your help,
Dan
