Yeh Kya Hua ! · DIGIT-ARC

Help me guys !
My system specification is:
Intel 915 GEV Mobo
Intel P4 630 3.0 GHz
512 MB DDR 2 RAM
400 Watt power supply
80 GB SATA HDD
XFX 6600 GT 256 MB graphic card

My problem is that my 6600 gt giving bad performance after OC.i have earlier OC this card three times,but at the fourth time when i choose detect optimal setting by riva tuner,i am expercieng low fps at every games like farcry,halflife2,nfsmw.i tried to reinstall windows and even run it at stock settings but still it giving bad performance.Earlier games likes farcry runs very smooth but now game is unplayable(low fps 15-16 fps).my graphic driver version is 84.25 WHQL.Please Help Me !

I think u had overclocked the card beyond its limit....
Similar situation had happened to me with my 1st Pc...
I was having Geforce 2 Mx 400...
But i overclocked it to major extent....
it would normally crash in tht status...
but even after when i brought back to the origin clocking of the card... it would crash while playing game or would give relatively low FPS or srceen would develop interlaced type of pattern...
i was even not able to play FIFA 2005 or GTA vice city...
BUt after about a month or two it again started to work normallly....
All the above games were working fine now
In tht period i was using onboard graphic....
So i guess not using ur card for longer time(say abt week) may be the remedy to this problem....
I may be wrong but this worked for me, now even NFSMW works on it without any problem

Three reasons:-
1. Bad Power supply
2.Too much heat
3.Faulty Vrams chips.

Simply try Nvhardpage to overclock ur card.

And please check the above mentioned conditions, i stated.

Yeah i have bad power supply.My problem arises because of Riva Tuner.

Then...is your problem solved now??

Yes sometimes the overclocked GPU might give less FPS.Reset to default and start all over again!

This is a funny answer. No offence but i would like to mention a blown graphics card is not like an illness that will automatically get cured after sometime
