Thanks. I hope the PSU is shot. That would save me a lot of trouble. What I'm really worried about is that my PSU is fine, but my processor needs more than 500W of power.RawDeal_basic

What PSU are you using? You might need a higher rated one for that video card.

When I turn off my computer, if I don't shut the power supply off as well, it will freeze when it starts back up at the "Windows XP" startup screen....EVERYTIME, no matter what. If I just flip the switch off, even for 5 seconds, then turn it back on, the computer will start up fine. Maybe there is an issue with my power supply. Could that be causing the framerate problems?RawDeal_basic

That's definately a PSU problem...get it checked out ASAP. It would also account for your card not running properly, not getting enough power.

And 8800GT at that. :lol: DIfference of opinions. I'll agree to disagree, on both topics.

I said 1950, not 7950. You're right, it's a high-end XP rig.

Besides, long-lasting....high-end? Those are things those computer aren't.

That doesn't point to you needing a new video card?
