I am having problems with my new Visiontek Xtasy X850XT PE (agp). In some games (Guild Wars, FEAR) the screen all the sudden goes blank although sounds and game controls persist. The light on my monitor goes from green to orange so there's no signal. Sometimes when this happens in GW i can hit Alt+Tab and it will bring my desktop up and then hit it again and the game will resume, same with FEAR. However sometimes it will go to the desktop (i can hear the ambient game noises stop) but the display will stay out forcing me to restart. I havent had these problems with past video cards and i just got this one this weak so I can only think that it would be a problem with the graphics card or my PSU.
Has anyone else had problems with their graphics card like this that has been resolved by gettin a new PSU? Right now i have a 450w cheap PSU that came with my case, and i havent had any issues until i got this new card. Anyways i'm trying to decide whether to send back my card or order a new PSU, so any advice on what to do and/or which PSU to order (under $100) would be great!
