pyrochild Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Sounds like overheating or a driver issue. Have you installed the very latest drivers for that card? Are your fans working? Are they blocked by dust or animal hair? Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 My guess would be that your power supply is insufficient for running both the new video card and the CPU at 100%. You need more watts. Ask Scotty or newegg for one. This is not a Paint.NET bug.

britton30 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) The card and PC are new and kept dust-free. my PSU is 650W, the card needs 28W 12V and I put out a max of 38W on the PCIe cable, CPU is 125W with a dedicated cable. I have about 25% headrom. The GPU is not overclocked at all and runs at minimum, I don't game but do video. Yup, new drivers came out last week and is WHQL certified.

Rick Brewster Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 *shrug* I don't know. Try asking in a PC hardware forum.
