Advanced Troubleshooting

1. Check to see that your power supply meets the minimum requirements found on the side

panel of the BFG Tech graphics card box. While wattage may appear to be sufficient,

amperage may not. If it looks like your power supply does not or barely meets the minimum

requirements, replace it with a more powerful model. Often times a poor power supply is

the cause of graphics card related problems.

2. Do not overclock your graphics card. We understanding the desire to overclock, but it can

cause lock-ups, crashing and random restarts, plus it voids your lifetime warranty.

3. If you are having trouble with a particular PC game, visit the game developer’s website to

download and subsequently install the latest patch.
