500 watt stock psu comes with my avf casing

so anyone noe's wat problem i'm having..
i think my pc dun enough power..
did i need 2 change my psu??

I have seen several cases of this graphic card hanging after using either anti-aliasing or dx-10 in vista after a short period of time in modern games.

In any case, the 8500gt is not powerful enough to run DX10 smoothly in the first place - even my old 8600GT which is significantly faster struggles in that mode.

I advice sticking to DX-9 with your card. And avoiding anti aliasing.

If there's something you need to change, its your graphic card.

A Geforce 9600GT and an Ati4850 are going for a steal these days. Provided you have the necessary funds of course.

at first i tot must be something wrong with PSU because it is cap ayam 450watt only, so cabut @ pasang balik all the stuff like ram, dvd-rw, vga, HDD, sound, TV card...

my solution.

instll fresh new vista SP1
install latest driver (vga, cipset, sound)
install latest amd dual core optimizer
remove norton AV switch to AVG
finally i foind out taht my pioneer DVDrw cause the problem...
after i cabut the drive, no more hang!
