The system is only around 10 months to a year old. It was running fine until my old 500 watt power supply went out. After that I put in a 350 watt, the only one that I had on hand. The computer then began its rain of terror upon my mind. Once I put in the 350 watt power supply the computer would randomly not start and would freeze from 1 minutes to 1 hour depending on what I was doing. I then figured of course that it was a power issue and upgraded to a 600 watt power supply. The computer runs fine if I dont install my video drivers for the 7900. The computer will NEVER freeze if I dont install the videos drivers. So...I bought an Ultra cool fan for my video card hoping that the heat issue and freezing issue was coming from that. After putting that onto my card I installed the latest video drivers 169 from nvidia website. The computer still freezes. The card is on its own power rail then the other hardware that is installed on the board. The system heat is around
25 C. My question is, do you know what is going on??? The system freezes after and only when I install the video drivers. I of course went through all the different versions of the drivers and nothing seems to help. PLEASE HELP ME!!! Im a full time animation student using Maya 8.0 and Max and really need this system back ASAP. Any kind of information that you can help me with will be godly. Thanks so much Geoff Palmer
