Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600 ---> FREEZES MY PC...Please Help

[Cannibal Corpse]

Hi All,

I have just got a Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600, and I am playing WARCRAFT III, and for no reason after a couple of minutes the game (and the system) freezes, so I have to reboot.

My system specs:

Intel PIII-850MHz
1GB PC-133 SDRAM RAM
Abit BX6-Rev 2.01 MoBo
Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600
40GB HDD (Maxtor)

I just replaced Visiontek Xtasy GeForce4 Ti4600, with my good old Prophet 3D Ultra (GeForce 2 Ultra, 64MB)

I have NOT overclocked my system, nor this new video card and my PC Case is open, so the OVERHEATING is NOT an issue. I am using the latest official nVIDIA drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

those cards are power hungry. 1st i would try the latest drivers if you ain't got them already.
Bios update is another option.

btw how big is the PSU ?

Mine is a 250W, but I am upgrading 350W

I need to upgrad my POWER SUPPLY to a 300 or 350W.

yup should help.

The strange thing is that my system does NOT Freeze in normal Windows operations (reading e-mails, browsing the Internet, etc.)

no my mate had the same, top spec system and a 300w PSU.. in a intensive game like medal of honor his pc would lock.. games demand everything from a pc nowdays & then some.
