Big problem whit Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 460

[kleszcz]

I have a problem with the graphics card. When you turn on the system card for about 5 minutes works well. errors later on jumps from the driver does not work properly. Also on the websites I see blurry background. In the games in August cut all the time.
I read from it is the drivers fault but I can not find anywhere good. Maybe someone help...

I have windows 7 (64)  asus P5Q 4GB ram Gigabyte nvidia gtx 460 quad q6600 2.40mhz logic 500w AC

Pleas Help.

Hi

I am not 100% sure of the problem because of the language barrier but I guess that the cards drivers are giving problems. Obviously if that is the case make sure that you have the latest drivers installed and check to see if there is a firmware update for the card too.

Yes its problem whit drivers. It show me "Kernal mode driver" message problem when i run mozilla and watch youtube. And when i play games i have frezees and then computer restart sytem. This problem is whit all games. Can this problem is from AC i have Logic-500w AC

I am not familiar with this PSU but it is not one of the well known ones, so maybe it isn't really as good as it could be. Can you link me to  the specs?

I dont know what is this message problem whit driver "Kernal mode driver" or how to fix this.

Is it single or multiple 12 v rails ?

Does your graphics card have two power connectors on it ?

Have you got the two connnectors inserted into the motherboard, that is one 24 pin and one 8 pin ?

[kleszcz]

multiple have 12v
yes have to connetions

[Dark Mantis]

Have you inserted power plugs into both graphics cards sockets ?

[kleszcz]

The power is ok. When i run windows 7 and dont have installed Driver to card PC is ok no issue but when i installed Driver to graphic i have problems.

Sounds very like the problem I had in this thread mate http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,5099.0.html. In the end up I had to send it back to the e-tailer i had bought it from to be tested and it turned out it was faulty and got a new card back as I only had it for a month.

I tested the graphic in wnother motherborad and dont have this prolem. i think its problem whit my motherboard ASUS P5Q. I reset the bios but still get this problem:(

[Dark Mantis]

I would arrange to RMA the motherboard then. Normally done through the retailer.

I had an Asus PQ5LE Mobo and same thing, my new460 is going strong, so an RMA is called for.

[Dark Mantis]

Yes I agree, sometimes there is nothing else for it and there is nothing that the customer can do.
