Hello everyone,
As you might know, most GTX 460 were replaced with GTX 560 so we had to install those cards in all the new computers we built.
Problem is, since we've done that, about 6-7 users have reported their drivers crashing and recovering... or not. We tested the cards and they seemed fine, unplugging the power and unslotting/reslotting the video cards or simply changing them seems to fix the problem but I still don't know if this will ever happen again.
The system setup is currently 12 gigs of ram (6X2) along with a w3550 xeon processor , 3 hard drivers and a 475w power supply.
Since nothing was changed , other than the video card, between the old config (gtx460) and the new one (gtx560) I suspect the power supply to be the problem, having a hard time giving power to the video card over long periods of time... our users reboot their computers about once a week...
What do you guys think?
Thanks
