350W? Acbel? isk... too low, i even throw away the Acbel at the first place shakehead.gif, IMO, a 500W should be ok, and 550W~600W is minimum for today's computing icon_idea.gif (just my personal preference), and forget those CM, Acbel, or any super-capalang brand (Icute, PowerLogic, Sunshine)... off topic already tongue.gif

@tonny
like Shawty said, it could be the driver, ntune (nVIDIA's tuner program), or damaged card...

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

i have the acbel e3 350w too but i guess it doesn't have enuf juice to power ur gc... best bet, change it to something better... u dun have to buy those hyper expensive psu, someone mentioned ss560w for rm320??? or check in garage sales, ther is enhance 460w for rm100+... the acbel 350 is ok but i use it with e6300 (oc a bit), 4 hdd, 7300gs, 2 odd n the psu start not to performing well... changing it to any 450w psu solved my problem... try removing all the old gpu drivers n reinstall the forceware... good luck...

The price not low because most mainstream users doesn't even bother to read articles about PSU's. smile.gif

I'm with sniper, if i were to get CM or Acbel for free [lets say a prize from a competition] i'll just sell it back at half price.
It's crap i tell you, if no one wants to buy it, i'll just use it to run my watercooling kit and some fans. laugh.gif

To power up my system?
HELL NO! :crappy:

Don't put in your mind that expensive PSU's are good, but don't put in your mind that cheap psu are good either. laugh.gif

You just have to know which one to choose.
To avoid from being fooled by the shop or by the product itself, read up some articles.

Not reviews, read articles.

Want more information about PSU's, go to the link below and read every single articles i've posted in the link below:

Shouldnt damage. It will evaporate off anyway. I soaked the 8600gt core in isopropyl, so that the TIM would be easier to scrap off. And the card is still working fine now. rclxms.gif

the GDEX packaging??? there isnt any...

i bought the card from karom...and hes the one who put the card into the big box (which happens to be a mineral water carton) and added in the styrofoam himself. so it was karom that put the extra effort into the packaging..not GDEX (recommended seller by the way thumbup.gif)

as for results... can go to the 3D Mark database in OC United. VT-Ten has almost the same rig as mine except that hes using XFX 8800GTS 320MB XXX Edition cards for SLI.

my results will have to wait...superbly busy right now...no time to setup...now oso still in office doh.gif

i hate massive amounts of work with tight deadlines...........
