My brother got a msi geforce 5950 fx a few weeks back. He was playing Farcry today, the first
real test for the card, and we found that the computer now sometimes automatically restarts.
I doubt it was an overheating problem.. as the thing has 2 fans on it and ridiculous sized heatsinks. What i was wondering though, is that there may not be enough max power to power it. He only has a 300W power supply, and this is the first card i noticed, that takes an actual power cable off of the power supply to power the fans etc on the card. I couldn't find an actual power specification/requirement for the card, but was wondering if that could be a problem, for such a power hungry card.
the rest of the system is just a 2100 Xp gig of ram, cd rom and a 120 and 40 gb hard drive.
hmmm, maybe he should've got the radeon 9800 XT
