how mush ur SILVERSTONE STRIDER ST56F 560W ?? u also use same lv gc card with mine ....so ur 8800 stable ?? if is i get ur psu ..

450w already enough to power 8800gts

but for gtx, you need 500w, 550 recommended

not enough ler 450w. ive tried with my CM Real Power 450w ACLX.

cant take load for too long...after awhile the monitor goes kuku and then no picture liao.

even 3D Mark 05 oso only got 8k with my 8800GTS.

after my personal experience i seriously would NOT recommend anything lower than 500w

Odin Pro 550W around RM400. GT, RM450. For sure can run 8800GTS lor..

I got my SS Strider 560W for RM340 in one of the shops in lowyat. Probably can get cheaper if anyone running bulk on it, or garage sale.. try to find lor, gigabyte odin seems more expensive..

i think gigabyte odin expensive because of it is modular PSU

Hi all experts,

Last few days I just bought the Asus nvidia 8600GT, to replace the Asus ATI X1650Pro-GE. At first, I've install the driver and utility (include Asus OSD and Smart Doctor) from CD, when I reboot and logon into windows, it immediately come out with blue screen of death after few seconds. I've try for few times of reboot, still the same. Then I format my hard disk and reinstall again (this time only install nvidia driver for 8600GT only), then it seems work fine. But today when running game in middle way, the blue screen of death coming again. The following is my dxdiag information, Hope anyone give me some advices and recommendation of how to solve the problem. I'm really appreciate it.

Regards: Tony

Which type of 8600GT you bought?
Mind telling the exact model?

Hi shawty,

My graphic card is Asus nVidia 8600GT 256MB DDR3 (Engine clock: 540MHz; Memory clock: 1.4GHz (700MHz DDR3). (http://www.asus.com.tw/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1627&l1=2&l2=6&l3=514&l4=0)

Hope you all can give me some advices of how to solve the blue screen of dead.

Regards: Tony

enough lerr...

im using a P4 3.0 @ 3.6GHz & 8800GTS (570/1800) @ 630/2016 no prob...

AcBEL I power 450watt

try the card in another pc. IF bsod still happens, means the card is spoilt, need to rma.
nothing happened when u were using x1650 before u bought 8600gt?

This is your graphic card?


Hmm.
There's three reason that i could think off.
[It may be wrong, as this is my opinion only]

1) Your psu isn't stable enough.
2) The driver u're using right now isn't stable with your system.
3) The grahic card itself is damaged before you're using it.

What you can do now is:

1) Try plugging it in another PC.
or
2) Try using the newest driver

If both doesn't work, then you might have one damaged graphic card.

I bought only RM320 at MyPC, but it was kinda old stock, box also not fresh..

I wonder why my friend wanna upgrade while his previous psu same like urs.

Hi shawty,

Thanks for the reply. I'm really appreciate it. Yes. that is my graphic card now.

1) My PSU is Acbel 350W true power. If not stable, what is your recommendation brand and how many watt ?
2) Yesterday i've install nvidia official driver directly into my pc. But not yet test on C&C3. Previously blue screen of dead was appear during start of the C&C3 GDI campaign movie.
3) How do I know the graphic card is damaged ? But it seems work fine in windows environment without running high end game.
4) Latest nvidia driver from nvidia official is 162.18 right ?? Another q is asus itself hav release the driver for 8600GT is 168.18. I should always install the nvidia official driver is better ?

Regards: Tony
