Sun,
How many 6 pin power connectors are required for that video card?

I suspect TWO.

From LOTS of things I have read in the past about these high end video cards, they do require lots of readily available power, a minimum of 50 amps on the power supply which on many 500 - 600 watt supplies is lacking.

It is the AMPS on the 12 volt rails that count, not the wattage rating of the power supply.

I can't stress that enough.

This is why I look for multiple 12 Volt RAIL supplies with over 60 total amps readily available and at least 25 amps on a single rail.


2. Try that new card in a different computer if you can. MAYBE its the pci x 16 slot.????

The 750 watt power supply was a good idea assuming it has some good 12 volt amp ratings.

Keep us posted.

micro...

Micro,

Sun, cards do wear out and go bad. That happened to mine. - It's a brand new card.

Likely power. - it requires a 500 watt power supply - I was running a 600 watt, and when it kept shutting down, I ordered and replaced it with a new 750 watt power supply just in case that was the issue. I think that original issue was in the adapter from Molex to 8-pin.

So I would at least hope that it's not a power issue.

ArVee - it's a Galaxy rather than an EVGA - I'm thinking maybe talk with Newegg and see if I can't replace it with an EVGA? Have you seen or read about any issues with the 660's?

Below is the error log - looks like she did a restart at 22:41 - and the last entry on the regular log is 23:07 - not sure how long she does run before doing the restart.
