Tl;DR
but CSB
SO HELP!
Recently well lets say 1year ago my 8600gts Stoped Working on my computer for some reason. I have a Custom Built Computer so i will put specs Below.
About 2 years ago i bought a Evga GeForce 8600GTS so i can play crysis on my computer and i Pluged it in my computer PCI-E Slot , and i saw that it has a 6pin power connector . Everything Worked Fine!!. Untill 1day i decided to uninstall my antivirus to get a new one and it just turned off. STOPED WORKING!! so i put in my old GPU Nvidia GeForce 7300 Gs and it works.
So i said " W T FFFF ", and thats the end of me using that 8600GTS. It was on my dad's computer and so about 3 or 4 months ago i bought my own computer parts and builted my own computer ,i used the 7300gs that worked and my dad bought his own GeForce GT 220 Low Profile . I didn't say anything and i did try that 8600GTS again and i did not have high hopes.
So about a month or 2 ago i bought a PNY GeForce 9400GT From a Friend and i tested it and it works fine. but i am not satisfied. Because that 9400gt is even though a Higher Series It only contains 12.8 Gb/Sec Memory Bandwidth. :*( , While the 8600 GTS had 32Gb/Sec . So i Told my friend to see if he can try to fix my GPU, he said "Sure, I'll Test it", Next day he brought it back and said " It works just fine , except it was too hot so i cleaned it and now its fine " . Those were his exact words. So now i am PISSED OFF. Any help with getting that 8600GTS to work?
My Computer Specs:
MotherBoard: MSI 785Gm P45
CPU: Amd Phenom(TM) II X2 560 Processor (2 CPUS), ~ 3.3 GHZ
Memory Ram: Agama Gaming Series 4GB Ram
Graphic Card : PNY GeForce 9400 GT ( my system says i have 2gb of mem but i actually have 512mb XD)
PSU: 430w
Can someone Help me please?
So plug it in and see if it works? If its too hot it obviously wont work right. Sounds like you could stand to clean the rest of your comp out.
i Pluged it in and it turns on but the moniter stays Black and no its not too hot anymore my friend cleaned the fan and its fine on his computer so idk wtf is going on
Your power supply his horrendous, even if you get your gfx card to work, those cards are pretty power hungry and the moment you start taxing them just a bit it'll rape your PSU.

8600 GTS :O Kind of a low powered graphics card for a custom built comp.. Get a new power supply? I owned a custom built one for a year or so a while back and i had a shitty one that caused lots of problems
i got a 8600GT 512mb 2 years ago and it runs beautiful
I dont have any power supply connected to it. Its just in the PCI Express x16 port.
Do you have any more than 1 express port to use?
Does your computer boot with the 8600 in?
