Avoid buying from Barclays!

yeh, we have to deal with luck when we buying from them. but if its a genuine shop, we shoud be protected with their after sales service.

yes i have seen that driver crashing thing when i was overclocking an Nvidia card i had previously. Completely replaced my RAM sticks. did the mem test. then I did the CPU stress test to verify that the problem is not with the CPU or the RAM. and they tested it with a whole new setup. not only with the crysis, but also with the stress test softwares, it was crashing. it could be a gpu ram related problem?

I'm pretty certain is it not Video RAM related. Usually, if VRAM is faulty, you would get artifacts before crashing. VRAM issues are "manageable" than Core issues.

The problem is, I don't see why the PC would *reboot*. Freezing, dropping to desktop and blank screen are the video card related problems. Rebooting (except for CPU/RAM instabilities) is *software* related I suppose. BSODs! Probably, driver related or game related.

It could well be a heat problem. Some people are reporting heat related issues with HD4870. The temperature isn't bad, around 75-80C, which is no sweat for nVidia cards, but for some reason HD4870 seems to run into trouble with a bit of heat. >_>

Too bad I don't have a solution to your problem. I'm kinda out of loop with the latest hardware, 'cos I had to postpone my next upgrade for an unforeseeable distance.

well, i think i need to describe what was happening when I play games with that VGA.

I could play for about 2 mins, then the monitor goes to the standby mode, even it doesnt show the no signal message. then i could hear sounds being played for about 3 seconds. then it began to play a very small bit of sound continuously. then it gets restarted. but not always getting restarted. i had to press the power button sometimes.

Dude! That would be heat! I had *exactly* the same problem with my old VGA (8600GT) it's core and mem were pushed to the edge, So I had to bring down the clocks a bit (Specially with Crysis, other games were fine)

yes that could be. in the stress test software i saw the the VGA is going to about 70C before crashing. someone in the OC forum said that the problem can be avoid by underclocking the card to 500Mhz. But the Asus is replacing those cards with that prob. but i never had a chance to test it since the VGA was already given to them

ammo 1200W ekak maara ganan. 1200VA ekaknang puluwan 8000kata wage. eewa 750W.

I bought a PowerTree 1250VA (750W) one for Rs. 8500 about 5 months ago.

Only problem is that the monitoring interface is Serial There are USB ones available if you shop around Unity.

W and VA are different
