Arrgh, thanks ClydeCoast for the info, this card is nothing but problems. I had recently installed another SATA HDD, and after trying games I got my problem again (hard drives turning on and off [windows also informed me of the SATA being disconnected, because of the power fail]). I choose to...

Okay, I just tried running America's Army for the first time in ages, and I heard it shut down my hard drives, and everything just f*cked up completely from there. I am very angry now, and do not know what is going on with this..... Maybe the new PSU only helped reduced the occurance of a...

Because the shutdown is coming very randomly, I would like to believe this is a PSU problem.... About the fans: There should be a fan on your V9980 card, one on the CPU, and a case fan (maybe two :S). Any extra can't hurt, but not totally essential. So long as your exhaust fan is blowing...

:-), you didn't mention that... Hmmm.... that makes things slightly different as I don't want you to spend your money if it won't solve the problem. If the symptoms on your system are the same as mine and Arakel's, then getting an Antec PSU (such as the 480W) would be a good idea. It worked for...

Yeah I had the same thing that some games would do it more than others. I may be wrong, but even though these are "older games", because we demand such high FPS of them, the overall computing the system needs to do to display the games is the same. Like if we try to force Counter Strike to run...

Oh this is a little more complicated then if tis is the only card you've tried in your PC. With people like me and Arakel, we upgraded, having no previous problems, then recieving problems with the V9980. If you've got another 3d card available you could try using that for a while to see if you...

The second set of problems would suggest overheating, but that's probably because of PSU even so. I really would try the PSU option. These problems only started happening when you put the ASUS V9980, is that so? It seems that people who have had similar symptoms with their new V9980 have...

50$, around £27 isn't a lot at all for a 550W PSU. In fact I'd say that's very cheap, especially if you bought this quite a while ago. The ANTEC 550W PSUs cost around $175. You don't have a cooling system? What are you meaning inparticular. Your graphics card does have a fan and heatsink on it...

So it actually appears my solution is identical to Arakel's. :-) ASUS really should put on the box of the card "Needs a decent PSU to run properly".

I'm sorry to you all, I should have come back here earlier to explain how I corrected the problem. The reason why I didn't is that I wanted to actually test it for a long time before I could say, "Yes, it is ACTUALLY working!". Okay, I tried everything that was available to me as far as...

Hey Arakel, I'm having VERY similar problems with my Asus V9980. In windows it seems fine and all, but when running OpenGL games it crashes almost straight away. When I listen to my computer when I go into these games I hear what sounds like the hard drives shutting down and booting up again...
