    New build mystery, need help

    Lower wattage is an under statement, I've had this ups forever. Never even gave it a thought when a built this system. My last desktop was a good 8 years old and I think that's when I got the ups. I've been using my laptop for a few years because the other is so slow. This new build is awesome...

    New build mystery, need help

    Ok, I found my problem, seems like I need a hearing aid. The beeping was from the backup power supply unit right next to the computer and not the computer. It's undersized for the computer and was not happy with the extra load of my new setup. It was a very dumb mistake on my part, 750w computer...

    New build mystery, need help

    Thanks, I'll give them a try. I did try a different game today and the board beeped right away. I lowered the resolutions in the game options and the beep stopped. Do you think that would make it more likly to be my video card?

    New build mystery, need help

    The system tells me it's running cool and the case air is cool too. It happens right away with that game, I have to go out buy another game that will work the card hard, see if it still does it. I just tried World of Warcraft and that was ok. Any thoughts on one that would test it hard?

    New build mystery, need help

    I have 4 pci power cables and tried them all. Also bios says voltage is good. I wish I had another computer to test card with but I don't, all I have is a laptop. I haven't tried any other games yet, I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks

    Looking for a Review

    Has anyone ever seen a review on this card or used it. ECS Black Series NBGTX260-896MX-F GeForce GTX 260. I'm building a new rig, was going to go with a EVGA but this one is so much lower priced I'd like to find out more about it. Thanks.
