Is losing video signal resulting from an overheated video card?
Can a video signal loss result from an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW (128 MB)
getting too hot (overheating)? The system requires a hard reset since the computer doesn't seem to respond (e.g., lock keys don't change light status, no audio, etc.). It seems to happen when gaming like World of Warcraft. Just wondering. I doubt it is RAM because I have no problems when not gaming. I doubt it is a CPU heat problem since I ran cpuburnk7 for over two hours nonstop (up to 154 degrees(F) with 107 degrees(F)) motherboard temperatures). The power supply should be OK: Antec Model SL400 (400 watts; 80mm and 92mm fans) power supply. You can see my primary computer (gaming box) details at http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfar...t/computers.txt ... I even uninstalled and reinstalled ATI Catalyst drivers (v5.2 and v5.3). Running 3D screen savers and ATITool for hours seem fine. Nothing odd in Windows XP's event logs. Thank you in advance. -- "What reason, like the careful ant, draws laboriously together, the wind of accident sometimes collects in a moment." --Friedrich von Schiller /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant @ The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail.

Particularly the amps on each voltage rail. If you open up the case there should be a label on the side of the power supply that says something like 3.3v 30A, 5v 28A, 12v 18A - this is important in helping find out whats going wrong. If your case is one where its easy to take the cover off then you could try running without the cover on to see if it crashes as without the cover things run a bit cooler and this could maybe point towards it being a heat problem. Ah right - I see from this page what amps are on each rail - so should be ok I think: (18A on the 12, 38 on the 5) http://www.antec.com/specs/sl400_spe_EU.html Also try turning off fastwrites and VPU Recover in the catalyst drivers This page explains how to turn off fast writes and also do other checks. http://www.squeakfix.co.uk/fixes/crash-1.htm |
