This is a dupe post from the video section, I just realized it also pertains to psu...
I keep having wierd problems with my new setup. Only thing that changed was the mobo to an MSI KT6v-LSR. Now Wondows generaly seems faster, but when I tried Warcraft3 this morning it was having problems-seems to slow down when trying to play complex animations. For example, the opening slpash page where you can choose to load a game or whatever: it looks fine until some of the flaming fireballs start going by in the background. That's when it seems to choke and slow down.
Also I get this wierd monitor flash/click thing, at random, every 20 min or so. It's like when your monitor changes to a different resolution/refreshrate/color depth from control panel-it goes blank, clicks, and comes right back in under a second. Doesnt seem to cause any damage other than being annoying.
I'm not sure what is causing it. My Antec True330 PSU seems to be taking a dump on me, with my 12v average being 11.8 and sometimes dipping to 11.6. Could that be causing it? Could my new mobo be drawing more power? I think the 12v railwas starting to go before I got this mobo...
OR-
Could it be my video card starting to die? It never feels too warm to the touch, is not oced at the moment... Can run 3dmark2k1 just fine.
I don't know what to do! Any ideas?
