It actually sounds like an overheating problem, open up the case, let it cool down and try again.

I'm not sure what you are saying exactly, it was doing the same thing before or is it like that now with the new video card?

Yeah did the old card do this?? i assume not... I would try the card in another rig... I went through 3 x700s before i got one that worked... ( and it only kinda works ) After that its gotta be driver/os issue.

i just buy a video card for my bro (6600gt)USED)since i installed it i get lag shot but i get decent FPS?

ali007

hmm could be a power issue, 350 watt is the minimum requirement for the 6600GT, plus you might have some other high power consumption components in the computer which are taking the power. What you could try is lowering the clock speed of the graphics card to reduce its power usage and see what happens. Alternatively you could decrease the CPU clock speed + voltage and see if that does anything.

The final thing I could think of would be that there is no enough free memory avaliable and it keeps having to take data from the hard drive, but that would reduce the FPS so I don't think this is the cause. Rather unlikely though as he has quite a lot of RAM

Computers are more complex than the average enthusiast believes. Take heed, and be wary, with what you do when overclocking.

You prob got a card someone OCed the heck out of and ruined it, I never buy used hardware.
