450W Coolermaster (about 3 years old) This is you problem!!!

Try with another power supply since the minimum requirement is 500w.

Thermal and Power Specs:

Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 105 C

Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) 182 W

Minimum System Power Requirement (W) 500 W

Supplementary Power Connectors 6-pin x2

Don't think PSU is problem. I read some people have 2 video cards that work fine on a 400w PSU. What are the temps on the card?

Also what maker is the card. I also have GTX260 (Gigabyte branded) too and it works fine on all my games but if I update to the latest drivers, I have the problem where any games I play, the computer would reboot without warnings. I'm about to email the Gigabyte people about this.

It *might* be the PSU but it depends on how good the current one is (the most important factor is how much the PSU puts on the 12V rails)? I have a GTX 260 (Asus as well) running quite happily off a 375W PSU with no issues. It might be a memory issue, as others have suggested try testing your RAM to see if there are any errors.

Yeah i fixed it... Some cable was hanging in the Cooler of my video card..

i was like @#&!^@#!@#&@! but yeah its fixed..

it was the SPDIF out from the motherboard to the videocard for HDMI sound, since i never use it anyway i ripped it off... and got it out of the cooling ;).. Works like a charm now :)

My case is so tight in space, that the same thing happened to me, some cable was blocking the graphics card fan from spinning. Computer was fine (no black screen or anything), but after a game, gpuz reported gfx card was 100c. I opened up the case and was like d'oh! Now it idles at like 34-37c and gets up to 48-54c after a game

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
