Got a new graphic card;PC keeps crashing when I log into SRO

Post by maca »

Ok, so i got this graphic card ASUS AH 3650 SILENT 512MB, DirectX 10.1 AGP slot ATI Radeon

I updated all the drivers, but when i log into SRO my PC crashes after like 1min.

Any suggestions how I may fix this?
Thanks in advance.

PS It's working fine with other games, just SRO.

What do you mean exactly like "my PC crashes"? Does the SRO application crasch, or does the PC reboot or something similar?

This sounds more like an memory problem. Do you get a BoS or something, or just plain reboot? Check if your RAM is alright.

I have tried other games, much emmmmm, how to put it in English, "heavier" than SRO, that run really nice, so its not this. The thing is, it run great with my old graphic card (NVidia FX 5500). Now, with the new one, the PC just crashes (reboots) when I log into SRO (after max 1min). I have my drivers updated, really cant think of anything wrong.

i would say it is the power.. new video cards need a lot of power to run and most systems have PSU's that can handle what the computer came with not a new video card that needs a 4 pin and alot more power.. i had to replace my PUS when i got a new video card try getting something 500 watts or more and see if that fix's the problem.. if that dont work you can always return the PSU and get your money back and look at other things it may be..

also dont cheap out on parts it will come to bite you in the ass in the end.
