TS can use eXtreme Power Supply Calculatorthis as a reference to check whether you got enough power from your PSU or not.

ur PSU is 650watt.

maybe you should try with 350watt PSU then you tell us whether it still works or not.

Brother i understand what ur getting at but his Enlight PSU isn't such a slouch like u would come to understand..
Enlight PSu's are actually made by Delta Electronics, they are psu suppliers to OEM like Dell, Acer etc..
Even tho the watt is kinda small comparing to current trend but i do believe it can supply what it stated eg Truepower tho maybe 70% efficiency..
His spec isn't gonna use much watt, at max around 200W, thats why people are saying his psu couldn't be the culprit

Haha....glad that u hav a good laugh on that....anyhow i will discuss this in below reply to Najmods

As for your third point, wat is this dimm u r refering to?



Yaya...i know this is not a car....but the issue is still quite the same here, at least i think.....Like you say: if the card have 350MHz it runs 350MHz all the time, same go with a car. A car with 200 horse power will NOT go up to 300 horse power. Same thing happens to a car torque. Takumi's engine blows because of heat issue. (Correct me if i'm wrong....any car lover here?).

So my point is.....maybe my gc has been working too hard (playing game in 23" LCD) that the heat goes too high and spoiled the gc. You also know heat can also be a issue here, otherwise u won't ask about it Or there is no such case as heat spoiled a gc??

So i want to know about whether my pc built is ok? Can a 9500GT play game in 23" LCD, or i need to upgrade my 'engine' like wat Takumi did to his car.

Dimm = your ram slots
check it out first so you can single out this.

Highly unlikely. If your gc really spoiled, you shoudlnt even able to boot into windows

dimm is the ram stick

and really,there is no such thing as the 9500gt gone bonkers because of doing 1920x1080 on a old game.........there is no such thing

Stop the car-PC relation nonsense, there is no such thing, its the same like you playing on low resolution with high detail, the card WILL struggle to render most newer games, like Crysis, it will be low framerate and stutter like hell, but it won't blow up.

Like InFe_eD said, if you card really 'blow up' like the car in that movie, your card wont display anything, like the car wont even start and need to be towed, that is common sense is it?

one thing i'd like to correct, sometimes card go bongker does not result in total no display or can't boot Windows. i've experienced cards that just refuses to be recognized but works with standard VGA drivers.

Play games with 23" LCD kill GFC ???
Answer is NO...
Heat, Unstable PSU, electric static, manufacture defect or user own error would kill GFC...

Haha When the GC dies need to be towed xD.

anyway, gaming couldn't be as stressing as folding@home 24/7 and that's what i've been doing to 4 of my cards.

dimm is the ram not the ram slot.

and even with a spoiled gc u can still get into windows ....whether u can see anything is another question(ie artifact and shit).
how do i know???

i spoil a gc b4 and i can get into windows.

Ohh? I just so used to saying like "put that rams into dimm2 and 3"


Yeah, goldfries and others point it out already, LOL . still thanks for your concerns anyway

The point is we are trying to make the TS understand that he cannot compare InitialD scene to his gpu.
