I'm new to the whole technical aspects of troubleshooting. I'm trying to troubleshoot a Nvidia 8800GTS and I had a few simple questions. How do I check my CPU and GPU temps? How do I run a Load test? And where do I get a diagnostic tool that would help me troubleshoot? And finally, would that be all I needed to troubleshoot a 8800GTS that randomly freezes?
you helped me before on my other post, and you mentioned it might be my power supply and that I should troubleshoot it in order to make sure. I was out of town for a week, so I figured I'd write a new post asking how to troubleshoot it. Thanks! :)
Yeah I posted about those, but it's farther down the list and no one is responding to it, so I wrote this one about diagnostic tools....all your questions can be answered here.
look for stress testers and stuff like that on downloads.com finding the temps i think that will be in the nvidia drivers. there is a graphics bench test thing call 3dmarks i think. you can download a demo for free but if you can get hold of the full version you can set it to loop. its a good stress test. problem with temp monitor through the drivers is if the computer falls over you wont know its temp. so a digital thermometers a good buy.
all text needs typos. There there for the reader to find,to distract them from the total lack of content. google it! wasnt the answer to the question i asked so dont be dense and give me that repl
