Monitor reads No signal after 2 minutes of booting a new computer
« on: September 13, 2008, 09:44:19 PM »
Ive just built my own first computer i and im using crossfire ati 3870s X2 when i turn on the computer the BIOS and CD-Rom for Windows XP boots just fine but no matter if i go into the bios or the XP startup after about 2minutes of running the computer the monitor goes to a no signal mode. ive tested it with 2 monitors and 2 cables that i know work.

Im not truly sure what the problem is im thinking it might be the powersupply which is a 600W coolmax i know that the rail for the 12V is at 18A where the graphics card recomends 30A i know this is a problem and i intend to fix it but im not quite sure if thats the problem or not.

help plz i would like to finally play crysis and anyother game without super lag or bad graphics i want my baby aworkin!    ;D

      I agree with drmsucks; It sounds like there just isn't enough power for the video. 
      Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?
