eVGA 9600 GT keeps crashing

I don't think so, other than testing another video card, or motherboard.

Have you tried resetting CMOS? I know that may seem like a long shot, but it can work miracles.

no i hevent not yet, was a last resort lol

I would try that then.

Here are the steps to complete this.

1. On the motherboard there is a small watch battery. Remove this battery along with the power cable from the power supply. Hold down the power button to fully discharge the system. Wait 2-3 minutes then reinstall the battery and plug in your system. Your reset is now complete

2. Some motherboards have a 3 pin jumper by the battery. Lets say that the jumper is on pins 2 and 3. Remove the jumper while the machine is OFF and place onto pins 1 and 2. Power on your machine for a minute. (Note: Your system will not POST). Shutdown your machine and put the jumper back to pins 2 and 3. Your reset is now complete

This is a great troubleshooting step for those of you having POST issues or no POSTing at all. Like other troubleshooting steps, this will not always work but usually will depending on the problem.

LOl still haven't fixed, btw, if you can't get someones elses video card or w.e maybe you could try it on someone elses computer and see if the same problem occurs, if so, its the video card problem
