155 thousand error messages and still going - Revised
Giggy:
I replaced the fan and heatsink a year ago,
Would replacing the PSU to a higher level fix it?
hippi:
This happened to mine, a couple of weeks latter my power supply died, got a newer, more powerful one and haven't had any graphics card error messages since. I'd say your power supply isn't powerful enough for your graphics card. If you google this error it seems to be a common problem.
Nec:
What the problem most likely is, is that you have a xxx watt power supply and you are trying to get more than that out of it. Have you added any peripherals recently? Some cards require a minimum wattage power supply (like 350 or 400). Check that info at the mfr's site for your specific card. The more things you add to your computer, the more watts it needs, so make sure you have a power supply that will support what you are running.
Giggy:
I have upgraded my PSU to 500w a few years ago, not that.
is it a faulty PSU?
Nec:
Could be, or it could be a faulty card, or slot on your motherboard. Have you tried using other power connectors? Perhaps it is that. If changing the plug you are using doesn't work, I would try a new power supply. If that doesn't work, return it and take your mobo and card in for testing. There are places that will test for free here - not sure about where you are. I had my AGP slot go on my last mobo. The rest of it was fine, so it is not unheard of.
