Well I got the new Nvidia card, installed it as planned, and guess what it’s not working properly either. However it does seem that it is a little more stable since it is not freezing the computer every 10 minutes like the ATI card I took back.
Looks like that the ATI card was not the problem after all. It has got to be a power problem. I also just realised that the power supply I have is a cheap and nasty EZCool 550W psu and not the nice 550W Antec psu, that was originally in the case. (I think is blew a few years back.)
So I have now ordered a nice 600W OCZ power supply. Hopefully this will be last of the problem. At least the fan is not as loud as the ATI card either. I also got 4GB of new RAM to put in, but will hold off until the graphics card issue has been resolved. It’s amazing how a simple graphics card update for £100 has cost me £300+. Ok, I can’t really count the £100 for the new LCD screen but still, it has ended up being an expensive month since I also got a new Xbox as well.
