about two weeks ago i got a new graphics card, the iceQ, when i put it in my PC it worked fine for a while and then games started to run really slow and the computer rebooted. After posting on this forum i figured out that it was the PSU which was only 200w!!! this ment the cooling fan wasn't spinning fast enought. I went and got another one @ 400w. however the fan still spins at the same speed and there is quite a lot of system instability again, so iv'e replaced my old card. does anyone know what else could be wrong other than the graphics card being broken???

Might be the fan...... fans can break down too... just a thought. Oz

On the back of the card, there is a switch which you can select high or low fan speeds, make sure it's on high, never had problems with my 9800 Pro Iceq, best card I have ever owned, could be a faulty card though ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )

do you mean the switch that fits throgh the one of the slots on the case? cos if you do iv'e already tried that p.s how much air does your iceQ blow out when set to high?

Strange problem, not sure what the problem could be "p.s how much air does your iceQ blow out when set to high?" Not sure, never took much notice, but does blow a lot of air as you can feel it, the air very hot to =) If you bough it in store, take it back and get a new one and if the problems continue then you know it's a problem with you PC somewhere, that's what I would do =) ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )

how much air does it blow out when it is in the low setting cos mine pretty much blows non infact the fan hardly moves at all???

On mine, the low and high setting are almost the same, the high setting with me is just a bit faster, both speeds spin pretty fast though ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )
