9600gt problem

[mrhappy]

Hi,

Wonder if you can help with my enquiry?

Have recently bought a Zotac Geforce 9600GT (std edition) from YoYotech (tottenham court Road, 1/03/08) to replace my crappy 7500 LE.
Installed it and thought it was working ok until........

I keep getting BSOD with some games (titan quest, fear and in particuar half life 2). The only game with no problems is Stalker?

After reading up on the internet, have so far tried: -

Updated / changed graphics drivers ( driver versions 171.6, 174.16 and 174.20).
Have uninstalled and reinstalled my graphics card.
Have taken the speed of the card down from 675 (factory shipped) down to 650
have increased the fan speed (50 and 100%)
made sure the PCIE connection in BIOS is set to 100.
Updated my BIOS to upto date version
Update my chipset as well to new version
Have reconfigured the cables inside my pc, to make sure graphics card is getting enough power.
have tried different PCIE cables.

None of the above has made any difference! Don't think its a PSU probem as mine is 850W and yes the 12v is being supplied correctly (have checked with Everest). Have tried the PSU with Geforce GS 320mb and Gefroce GTX 768mb versions, worked ok.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped

Using Winows XP Professional (SP2)

i assume you have also checked for updates of the games that cause the BSOD ?

On the games causing the BSOD, does it still happen if you wind the graphics settings down to the bare minimum ?

have updated all the games (hl2 and titan quest on steam) and turned down all the specs still happens

well will have to get a refund or get another card

hi guys,

thanks for your help.

I have RMA'ed the card back to Yoyotech. Let them check it out and if worst comes to worst get a refund! Oh well
