Can you turn on a PSU by itself (without a MB connected)? If so, how?
Would there be any problems running it for a few hours like that?
A buddy has a problem with his system while playing games. His PSU just meets the specs of the card and seem to run OK or a bit. Then, things start to go wierd in games. The card runs fine on my system for hours. Nothing is overclocked on his.
I'm thinking his PSU can't take the demand. So, I was going to hook up a spare one I have just to run the card. (It would be a real pain to swap PSU for the test. So, I don't want to do that if I don't have to.)
