Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Sounds like a low watts PSU or a crap-generic PSU problem.

I'm not sure if you and I borderline have the same problem but I too feel your pain.
Some say it might be the ram sinks/pads they have on the card. I think we both might be running into the heat issues of some kind.

i know it doesnt sound like much fun but you could try underclocking your card until your new power supply shows up.
300/1000 should not stress the juice near so much but still perform pretty dang well the difference of 350 gt to ultra 400 is about 7/8 so drop it down to 6/8

Even the 6800 Ultra doesn't "require" a 400W PSU, although some manufacturers of 6800 Ultra Extremes do recommend higher PSUs for those cards.

That sounds like a heat-related issue too. Make sure your room isn't too hot. Even better, try the card with the AC on if you got it in your room.

Depends on the quality of the power supply.
Yeah, and Microsoft claims you can run Windows XP on a 233 MHz machine with 128 MB of RAM.pxc said:
