got my 6800 ultra
 

woot! i got my 6800...had back order on gigabytes 6800 ultra; but i couldn't wait any longer and went for an evga 6800 ultra. seems to be great so far except for one problem.... i got MOH: pacific assault for christmas and it plays fine at the highest settings. but it randomly locks in the game...like it freezes up and my sound gets stuck on a repeat and most the time after about 10-30 seconds it comes out of it. this only happens ever so often. my temps are ok. i have the latest patch for MOH. I need some help. I also downloaded firmware updates for the vid card from evga about issues with the 6800 ultra cards sticking and freezing but this did not solve the problem.

I have the same problem

You need a bigger PSU I have a 400w one now which i just upgraded to. If you dont want to pay then tune the settings down...mostly the resolution. or get a 550 wat antec PSU.

w00t for even more psu problems!

i have an ultra x-connect 500w...isn't this enough? or should i invest in 2 PSUs? I also have each power connected separately to the psu for the vid card and have nothing attached to those cables. so the problem is not enough juice?

what are your system specs

list how many drives
fans
lights
etc

Gigabyte knnxp pro
Amd 64 3200+ clawhammer core (754)
3x corsair XMS 512mb pc3200
2x WD raptors 36gigs
Seagate barracuda 120 gig (unhooked) backup drive
hitachi deskstar 160 gig (unhooked)
2 52x lite on burners
500w ultra x-connect psu
evga 6800 ultra

i have 4 factory case fans
aspire x-pider case
psu fan and mobo chip fan of course

you need more get a 550-600+ watts for that many i have 2 hard drives and 2 cd roms drives and 500 should work for me

i think you are totally right. i disconnected my cd drive and only have one hooked up now and so far no problems. was wondering if you know where i can find instructions on how to run 2 PSUs? thanks

in a tower case
there is usually an area under the south bridge (the bottom of the case if standing up.

no I wanted to know how to hook 2 up so when i turn my comp on the extra psu turns on with it
