Hi,
A short while ago i bought myself a 8800GTX, which after a few weeks began to full screen artifact, freeze in games then progressed to doing the same almost the instant i booted windows; I got it RMA'd after testing everything on my end and getting in contact with BFG (i think it was due to an incorrect resistor or something) this card performed REALLY well before the problems however.
The people at BFG were kind enough to send me the OC version of the card to my surprise, and all my problems were gone.
However, now i get the Nvidia sentinel error when i boot complaining about not having enough power (i can drag the exact error up if you need it), I use a OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU, i have minimal "extras" in my pc (none infact) and nothings changed since my previous normal edition GTX. I can play most games okay even with this problem, but its underclocking my gpu memory in half and it really hurts performace in a lot of games (and benchs espeically) i've tried disabling the sentinel, this just removes the error and not the forced underclock though, i've also had a look around on the web to find a fix but to no avail; so a freind of mine pointed me over here
Any help is really appreciated guys, and just let me know if you need any more information about my system etc
