Problem: |
Insufficient power supply |
Solution: |
The current generation of CUDA®-enabled GPUs can be very demanding on a computer's power supply, and using multiple video cards is even more demanding. Purchase a new power supply, if necessary, to ensure that all components have sufficient energy to do their task. |

Problem: |
Graphics card or computer overheating |
Solution: |
Make sure the computer case has good ventilation, which may include purchasing additional cooling fans or a different case altogether. Make sure the case has lots of space around all air intakes and vents. Heat sinks and fans can build up dust and lose their cooling capacity. Use canned air to clean out computer cases, heat sinks, and fans often. Free software tools such as Speedfan, EVGA Precision, and GPUZ can help determine GPU temperatures and help with setting fan speeds, if necessary. |
