Hello i`m new to the forum and hope these is the place to post the pb.
My pc is a intel quad 2 core q6600 2400mh, 2gb ddr2 ram, palit radeon hd 2600xt 512 ddr3 video card.
The problem is that when i try to open 3dmark 03 05 06 or even pc mark artifacts appear on the screen and the computer restarts, the video card was changed 4 times the model was changed only 2 times, the tests were made on different ram modules each time also, the bios of the MB was updated and latest drivers for video also. The strange thing is that in any other benchmark i tried they work, even if the score is very low, in 3dmark 01se the score was about 30.000 and it also worked in vintage, the score was about 10.000 in vintage. The people at ATI don`t know what the problem could be and the ppl at the store just keep changing the video board.
The video boards where tested also on other MB`s and the results where the same in 03 05 etc as for the rest of the system it was tested with other cards and the software worked.
Any piece of info regarding this problem would be more than helpful as these has been going on for over 2 months and i don`t think it is normal for a new card to behave like this.

Assuming you are not overclocking the GFX card I would get the mobo swapped.

It's also possible that it isn't getting enough power, so check the wattage of your PSU.

the power supply is a cheiftech 450w the card does not have a extra power suplly on board and one of the cards that were tested was a 8800gt that worked fine the cards were not OC and neither are the rams or cpu

Sounds like a heat problem.
