So i just got my new cpu and problems arise...

<b>Drivers</b> - I'm assuming you're using the latest video drivers from nVidia.com and not the ones that came with the vid card, correct? Can get latest at <A HREF="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93" target="_new">GeForce 66.93 Drivers</A>

<b>Power</b> - Something important to list that wasn't listed is the power supply. GeForce 6800GT is a power hungry mofo so maybe inadequate power is the culprit.

<b>Temps</b> - Overclocking at all? That could also be part of the blame... perhaps the system is locking up as a safeguard against overheating the vid card. What temps is the vid card running at under load and at idle?

dude,
1)nvidia first of all recommends at least 350w of power for the GT
2) 310 won't do much compared to the 300
3)310w doesn't mean anything, it is the HIGHEST output, not considering fluncuations and most importantly EFFICENCY if i have a 800w psu and a efficency of like 10 percent, it would in theory only get about 80w of power to my parts, and obviously thats not enough

i think the main suspect here is the psu... definatly

I just got a antec 480w psu. Its still doing it and i just wasted 100 bucks.

I have no clue what to do :-/

On a system like that you need at least a 600 Watt power supply.

Wow. Are you serious? I'm running a P4 2.6C with 2x512MB PC3200 in DC, a GF 6600GT, and a RAID1 array and I only have a 380W supply that I haven't even reached the limits of yet. Am I supposed to believe that just the minor step up in graphics and in CPU are meant to require an additional 120W? If he had a power-hungry high-end Scotty and a dual GF 6800GT SLI setup <i>then</i> I could believe that he'd need 600W...

Out of curiousity, what's your CPU vcore at?

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

The ABIT IS7 800 MHz FSB motherboard starting off at an Intel 2.0 GHz 32 bit CPU recommends a 500 Watt power supply in the MoB Manual.

An ASUS A7N8X, 400 MHz FSB Motherboard running an XP 2800+ to a 3200+ @ 2.2 GHz 32 bit CPU recomends a 450 Watt power supply.

All that even before the consideration of any graphics cards.

Well the card didnt have any problem with my old cpu and fast write, its just odd.

Try setting the memory to SPD? Not "optimized".. etc

SPD = read timings from the RAM = Serial Presence Detect (I think)

The loving are the daring!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is this and where would you make a setting change for it?

600W is a bit excessive.
