GTX 260+ Aero glitches RC 64 bit

[Dredd]

Well I get really bad glitches.. sometimes when stuff really screws up my screen turns black for about 5 minutes and comes back on again.. I really wanted to use it but I had to go back to 32-bit vista.

Any ideas? Ive got all the latest drivers etc.

Ive checked the RAM etc.. all fine

the heat is only 30-50 degres..

CPU: AMD x3 Phenom II 720 (I changed it to a quad core.. so its now a AMD x4 Phenom II 20 overclocked to 3.1Ghz)
RAM: 4gb kingston 1066
GPU: Inno3D Gtx 260+ 896mb
HDD: 2x 500gb 7200RPM
Pioneer DVR-216BK SATA DL DVDRW

Hi Dredd.....

please fill out your system specs at the bottom of your post or via the userCP so we can better suggest the cause....

I put them on the first post.

what PSU do you have..??





SK

 

[Dredd]

Widetech 550w

 

[skunksmash]

your PSU could well be the issue here, i dont suppose you have any means of trying better one to rule it out..??, it could be struggling to deliver enough juice when you do anything intensive...


& your convinced GPU & CPU temps are not a problem..??, can you throw up some pics of card & CPU temps, idle & load..??

I don't have another PSU to try and il get some pics soon..
I think my PSU could be stuffed.. because the computer doesnt turn on straight off i have to switch it on and off a couple of times for it to actually turn on.. is that bad?

Get HWMonitor and post a screenshot if it ( press prntscreen, paste into paint, save as png, upload Image Upload | CubeUpload )

Otherwise I'd say it is a PSU or mobo issue.

Why do games and stuff work perfectly :S

 

[yohan]

Play a game and leave HWMonitor on, then show us the temperatures.

 

[skunksmash]

for some reason H/W monitor is not reading core temps..??

also try & run ''Everest'' this should give CPU stats....


but you say you can game..??, so this is not directly related to your rig being under load..??, its a randomly occurring glitch..??

i still think its PSU related, you say you've run ''memtest'' so it cant be the RAM (which would of been my 2nd port of call)...

i dont know of any S/W or OS issues which would cause the screen to black out..., your GTX260 is clear of wires & is not hampered in any way..??, the card temps seem ok though...

do you have onboard GFX on your mobo..??

I have onboard GFX.. but like it only happens on windows 7 not under any games but people have gotten my video card to work with windows 7?? it couldnt be a driver problem??

and the whole thing glitches!
