Help?

Help please

 

So I bought a gtx 660 card, second hand from a fourm

 

I have it setup so one monitor is through HDMI and one is through DVI-I but with a adapter for VGA which runs my smaller monitor

 

I had to upgrade my PSU as it wasn't enough, so I went for a ACE 700W PSU Brand new

 

Whenever I run a heavy graphics game, The monitor that's on VGA develops a light pattern of lines and there is a audiable difference from the graphics card, but when I exit said game, everything turns back to normal. Meanwhile the HDMI Screen is fine.

 

Now is it that the graphics card is duff, or that the PSU is rubbish or the DVI-I Connector ?

 

I'm at a loss, thanks

I'd suspect the connector. Can you switch the HDMI to see if the problem follows the adaptor?

The hdmi Screen is fine, stays exactly the same but the noise from the card changes when I run a game?

Sometimes depending on the load put on the card, the sound will change and it is completely fine.

Probably a bad cable or adapter. Because vga is analog and not digital, a bad cable really can cause issues unlike digital connections like hdmi or dvi.

make sure the monitors speakers are disabled if it has them.

uninstall or disable any sound drivers you are not using. ( device manager )
