Hi fellas,
i just built a new system - and my evga gtx460 lasted about 48h and then went dead.
So i rmad it and bought a Gigabyte gtx460OC instead.
Worked superb the first 24 hours with the latest nvidia drivers for win7 64bit.
After those 24h the card started with one of those problems that many users have with grafic cards on AMD/ATI and Nvidia.
the windows system tray pop up a little message telling that the grafikcard-driver had to be restarted.
I did not have that problem with the EVGA card (died doing purple sploshes all over the screen).
To your info i have
-gigabyte ga 890gpa mainboard rev 2.1 with the latest BIOS
-creative fatality soundcard
-1 samsung HDD
-1 corsair 650W powerplant
-2x4gb Gskill ram
-AMD phenom x6 1100t
no overclocking at all.my cpu temps at idle are about 35°!C.
i saw the graficcard has 2 power inputs on the card itself.iam going there with a harness from my Corsair that splits in Y.Is that any problem?
i will try the drivers that came with the CD.but i assume its eiter a faulty card again or a windows problem...
