Please need Help about Aero

[daniel7086]

My computer is relatively good graphics card of GeForce 450GTS E5200 processor and 4GB RAM
Every game I run even the most disgusting I was once working on a maximum not work for me today ..... barely minimum
Logical that such a game I did not even run L4D2 on medium?
Or WOW I was running on a maximum day I could hardly run a minimum

I could only suggest updating the driver, no matter when you last did it and which version you currently have.

That card should not be registering a 2.0 on the Windows Experience Index, so something is very seriously wrong. Have you overclocked it at all?

 

[daniel7086]

i dont know what to do ....... i realy dont know i update my driver something like 1000 times ....
i try the april driver one too and not work too
can u guys give me some advices what to do !? !


What you mean OVERCLOCKED ? !

 

[oxymoron02]

Well if you don't know what it is then you're probably not in danger of having done it

I really couldn't suggest anything else. It might be worth finding out how to post a log or minidump and doing so. Unfortunately I have little to no experience with them and they're still mostly a jumble of jargon and nonsense to me!

Hi Welcome to Seven Forums.
To help us help you would you please add your systems specs? Here's how: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html#post1530002
Under System Manufacturer/Model Number add whether it is a desktop or laptop and whether self built.

Log in to Seven Forums and you will be able to transfer the info directly to your specs page in your profile directly from the System Info app.


You link to a pic doesn't work for me. Use these instructions for posting images. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html#post93869

Have you tried a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html#post4405 to a point before the issue?

HERE THE PIC ... tell me if its help you to solve it

What power supply do you have, just out of interest? This is measured in W, so if you don't know, look on the back and look for a three-digit number with a W at the end. If it's not on the back then you'll have to take the side panel off and have a look at the large box inside the tower.

Do think the graphics card may be not be receiving sufficient voltages?

Yes of curse i do ....
And my W is 365W

Have you checked the PSU which is found within your computer, as suggested by oxymoron02?

Is your computer a laptop or desktop?

Could you please write what suggestions you have already done please?

Thanks,

I dont know what is PSU
And my computer is desktop
I installed couple times the graphic driver
I did format to my computer and still nothing
I try to download some softwares that people say to me and still nothing
Only thing i found is this forum.

PSU = Power Supply Unit (it's a big box eletrical box with lots of warnings on it within your case).

Could please try and see what the watts is for your PSU, turn off the computer first.

What software did you download?

 

[x BlueRobot]

You could purchase a new PSU, since stating in your last post that the wattage was 365W, and the recommended amount is 500W.

See here: GeForce GTS 450 review roundup

What does everyone else think?

You could get a lower-end graphics card or a graphics card which suits your PSU wattage better.

 

[daniel7086]

I dont think the PSU connected...
With this graphic card i played alot of games with good quality and now i cant play L4D on low quality..
maybe something happend to the card ?

The PSU would be connected, otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn your computer on.

How old is the card? We could perform a stress test of your hardware components, to detect any hardware faults with the graphics card.

Before, the stress test, create a BACKUP and move the backup onto a external media (e.g USB memory stick, external hard-drive or different hard-drive within the computer (not partition).

Hope this helps,

You didn't follow instructions to fill in your system specs so we are a little in the dark here.

We have only an idea of your actual GPU since many companies made it with different configurations, memory, and clock speeds. It is connected to your PSU, if not with 12V PCIe cables, then through the PCIe slot and bus.

Your title mentions Aero trouble but your post does not.

 

[oxymoron02]

Do think the graphics card may be not be receiving sufficient voltages?

Pretty much. Although it's unusual for a graphics card to even allow a system to boot if it isn't even recieving enough power, it's not entirely unheard of them to operate in a low power mode (as I found out the hard way many a moon ago and after much frustration that the awesome new card I had bought was not living up to expectations!).
On the other hand in this low power mode it shouldn't have been able to handle the games that Daniel mentioned at the good quality which he said he got.

Moving into the realms of near-fiction I suppose it's vaguely possible that it was operating at the peak of its ability on a drastic lack of wattage, but something here still doesn't add up.


We may have to consider the possibility that the card has simply turned faulty. However I would still highly recommend replacing the 365W PSU with something higher.

To try and round the points up for you:

1) Update your system specifications - Britton30
2) Stress Test, but remember to create a backup beforehand
3)PSU; consideration buying a new PSU with higher wattage - oxymoron02

Hope this makes things clearer for you.

Thanks,

Harry

I bet the card is sitting incorrectly on the PCI-E slot causing it to run in PCI-E 1.0 x1 instead of 2.0 x16, you can check the mode with GPU-Z.
