Hi , recently i bought a new Nvidia GTX 295, but i am facing problem while playing games like far cry and my screen freezes everytime when i try to play games, i also face problem in other games . light on gtx 295 stays red the whole time and nothing ever shows up on the monitor. When I rebooted and went to open the game again the computer shutdown and a red-light appeared on my GTX295 (the light has always been green).
thanks in advance for any help.
Does the red light flash or stay solid ? My guess would be something is wrong with your psu not delivering enough power or your video card is defected. Sounds like the PSU isn't giving the card enough power . have you tried booting with just one stick of RAM installed ? Try to use a different power supply or try to use a spare video card to see if your system boots up correctly and run normally.
can you give us more details about your pc , so that it can be easy for us to identify the problem. What is the model PSU that you have ? Is the computer actually starting up? Or just all the fans and stuff come on but no vidoe signal ?
Pc configuration
- Mother board - Intel DP45SG
- CPU - Intel Quad Core - Q6600
- Graphics - GTX 295
- Ram - 4GB ram (2 x 2gb in dual channel)
- Power Supply - corsair 600 Watt
- Windows Vista 32 bit
If things light up red then you have a problem and it is usually a sign that a power connector is unplugged.The GTX 295 video card requires a 680 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 46 Amps on the +12V rail. It also requires that the power supply has one 6-pin PCI Express power connector and an 8-pin PCI Express power connector for proper connection.
