I had a fresh install 4 days ago of Vista 64. Every now and then...at STARTUP ONLY...the desktop goes mosaic...and color get distorted...and PC FREEZES...
I uploaded a few pics of the FREEZE....
its either this...or a blank yellow screen....
ONLY happens at startup...never during actual use...??
Sometimes during startup...it looks like it WILL happen...and it actually happens for a FRACTION of a second...and then all goes fine???
Is this a POWER SUPPLY issue....maybe power to the Graphic card?...I am using the PCI to 2 molex connectors that came with the card....both molexes are plugged in....
The Power supply is a 420W Chieftec (came with my Antec/Chieftec) case. Its been working very well now for 5 years...
COULD THE REASON BE THAT THE POWER SUPPLY HAS ONLY 20 PINS AND NOT THE NEW 24 PINS
