i need help with my new gfx card..
I ain't really sure if this right section but i'll go ahead.
I just bought myself a 7970 of my a good friend to me (he had it running in crossfire and didn't need the second card)
And when i bought i instantly mounted it in my computer(cuase i got so hyped haha
)
Went to try battlefield 3 at Ultra 1920x1080 but after 10 minutes my computer just instantly shuts down :S
have tried it with low settings and still i get a crash..
Tried other good graphic games like Need for speed:Most Wanted and same thing.. 10 minutes of playing and it shuts down..
the card gets around to 73-76 degrees when it shuts down.
can it be my Power supply becuase it's 500 watt?
on the most sites i look it says Recomended power supply is 500-550 watt.
should i buy a new power supply like 700 watt? or could it be some other problem?
pc specs:
Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) 1600MHz XMS3
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3,4GHz Black Edition
a Asus M4A77T motherboard (not the usb3 version)
AtI Radeon 7970 3GB VRAM (this is the new card i bought, earlier i had an GeForce gtx 460 1GB)
AXP 500 watt Power Supply.
