    I've just reformatted after a lot of problems with my comp, everything is running fine, but my graphics card keep freezing, it did it before and its still doing it, i have installed the latest drivers but i just don't know why it keeps doing it? I'm running
    pent4 3.2
    1gb of ram
    asrock P4VM890 MB

    for what i want it for it should be fine, but its been freezing for ages, its really getting on my nerves now, i only got the card last year and it should be fine, is there a conflict with my MB?

    i did, i'm thinking that it'd my PCU as i thought it was a 500w but i checked the model number and its a 250, considering i'm running my graphics card, 250gb HD, blu-ray re-writer, duel layer dvd re-writer and a normal dvd i think its because i dont have enough power going through, does this sound right to you?

    Sounds like a heat issue, check the temps of your video card and see if that's the problem.. If that doesn't work then i would turn my attention to the PSU..

    A 250W PSU will probably not be sufficient for an X1950 Pro if it's getting on a bit, I'd try replacing the power supply.
