Hello, recently, i upgraded from my old geforce4 ti 4200 to a geforce 6600gt. For some reason. Most games (especially UT2004) perform worse then what they did with my ti and sometimes they even ran better on my old pentium 3 and gf4 mx4000! I am also having problems installing stuff like COD4 Demo and NFS Pro Street Demo. Everytime i try and run the installer, it extracts most of the files, but then says that one of the files is corrupt and the installation fails. Ive tried downloading the demos from numerous sites with no success. They extracted fine with my ti 4200 (i couldnt actually play the games with the ti obviously). Im wondering if the problem is with my power supply. It is a Thermaltake XP-550 430 watt. I read somewhere that this power supply isnt actually a 430. Apparently its a 300 watt that just says 430 watt. Could this be a problem with my power supply? Or would it be something else? Ive tried different video drivers and chipset drivers with no success.
My System Specs (Just incase you need to know)
Motherboard: Asus P4S133 (SiS 645 Chipset)
Ram: 512MB PC133 SDRAM
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 1.6Ghz (Overclocked to 2.32Ghz)
Power Supply: Thermaltake XP-550 430 watt
Video Card: Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 6600GT AGP 128MB
Hard Drive: 20GB IDE (Upgrading to a 320GB soon )
Case: NZXT Alpha with side window
Also, I ran 3dmark 2001 on the system and i only got 8500 marks. Shouldnt i be getting close to 20k? My system has also locked up a few times.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Nissanman
