    Graphics Card woes

    i bought a 6800 GT which frankly has been **** so far
    it refuses to play ne of the latest games it just locks up and reboots the pc

    So i have decided to RMA it and am thinking of either
    trying out another 6800 GT (which one is good?) i currently have club3d
    or go down the ATI route and buy an x800
    ne reccomendations?
    I have an SN95G5
    300 Gig Maxtor
    Corsair TwinX 1GB DDR (2x512MB) XMS3200XLPT
    Club 3d 6800 GT
    AMD 64 3500+

    I'm no expert but a 6800GT (and for that matter an X800) might need more power than the shuttle PSU can deliver. You might get away with an X800XL (lower clocked core on 0.11u process so ought to draw less power)

    i thnink the sn95 has the 250w psu. a mate of mine has the same spec in his sn95 and it works fine (he has the asus if that helps). the power is low, but apparently those silenx psu's are good quality.
