spend most of today searching the internet. And it seems that alot of people are having problems with the Nvidia 8800 GTS card.

having my fan on 100% has dropped the GPU temp fro 70C to 60C which is better now, ive also updated the drivers to some called Forceware.

I did find a site which gave a long list of things, so ive done them and hopefully i shall be crash free now.

Bought the amse card a while back Ryan and head the exact same prob.. freeze, then reboot and then it went into blue screen mode twice... Reseated all the bits.. took side off case and disconnected a noisy case fan ( not that it should make any diff) but since doing that 3 weeks ago, its been fine.. have left it on 24/7 often and still oki.

Hope you get it sorted bud GL

ok, i feel like a right tit if this is the problem...

requires 2 power rails to itself, me the tw@t only plugged one in (all my other cards which have just one have another wire coming off as a spur i thought thats what it was)

lets hope thats fixed it!

Ryan, I had similar problems when I built my current PC, in the end I shell'd out Â£70 on a new PSU

even though my old one was nothing cheap, even with the adapter it still wouldn't work.

I have this one now and no isses

right, had it on for 2 days now and its not crashed! w00t!!!

Ive removed 2 PCI network cards which i dont think were faulty as i used them on my last install. But as it stated in that link, there maybe is some complcit with the PCI ports or something. but its working now!!

Thanks for all you help guys, and ill see you on the servers!
