Recently I put together a new system. Everything is working fine except the video card. It doesn't even work in it stock speed.
The system contains :
** Soyo SY-P4S-645DX DRAGON Ultra motherboard
** Intel 1.6A (overclocked at 2.13 GHz, the problem happens in 1.6 GHz too) Processor
** 512 MB Samsung RAM
** MSI G4MX460-VT Graphics card (64 MB)
** Enermax EG465P-VE FMA Power suply
Video Driver is Detonator 29.80
OS is Windows XP
I can't get the core/memory clock beyond 189/223 MHz while the specification is "Core/Memory speed 300/550 MHz"
I used Motherboard Monitor Version MBM 5.1.9.1 and it indicates -12V at -9.57V (used to be even lower before), and -5V at 0.00V. All the positive voltage supplies are within spec. I took out the power connector from the motherboard and measured the negative volatages and they are alright. Measured the voltage at the connector while the machine was running, there the negative voltages are alright too. Only motherboard monitor shows the out of spec voltage. So, I am not sure whether that is the problem.
Everytime I try to increase the core or memory clock a bit higher than it is now, the machine hangs up Immadiately. Even at lower speed if I try to play a moderately graphic intensive game, the computer hangs after a couple of minutes and reboots and before that I get the error message that nt4_disp.dll caused the machine to become unstable. Sometimes it can't even load the graphics before it quits.
Can anyone plese give me any suggestion what to do? Or is it the motherboard or the graphics card which needs to be replaced.
I spent all my savings behind this machine and needless to say that I am pretty much upset with the results. Any help would be greately appreciated.
