What brand is that?

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

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.

IMO, it shouldn't give any problem i guess.

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

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.

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.

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.

Why are you asking about PSU here?

Duhh, it's in the same series, what are you expecting a thousand points of differences?

Rather then spending an extra RM150 - RM300 for a 8600GTS that won't score more, which one will you choose?
Think about the price / performance ratio of Colorful 8600GT UE & retail 8600GTS.

The Colorful 8600GT UE performs at the same level or yet, better than some GTS but with a RM150 - RM300 cheaper than most retail GTS.
That's what you should think about, not compare between 8600GT OC & 8600GT UE.

One thing for sure, the Colorful 8600GT UE won't be beaten easily by any retail 8600GTS, but, with a RM150 - RM300 cheaper than most retail 8600GTS. Think about that.

Do take note that the new revision of Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition comes in Dual Bios which made mADmAN upset because his Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition doesn't come with the dual bios.

Not true.
Your 8600GT Ultra can be reflashed into 8600GTS and runs perfectly on 8600GTS bios.

You just have to know where to find it.
But beware, i'm not responsible if anything happen.

8800 super duper heater?
You ain't see nothing man, wait until you have 2900XT in your hand then you'll know which one is hotter and which one is cooler.

Uhm, yeah, and you believe in that?

Can someone please explain to him the truth about wikipedia?
