Nvidia 6800 DVD playback crashes
I finally got my 6800 installed and running in my 2x2.0GHz G5 (2003 model). Quite a mission. But my personal debacle with the 6800 has not ended:
Everything seems fine except when playing DVD's. The computer crashes after about 30 minutes of continous playback. I was wondering if any other 6800 owners have experienced this.
Oh, I'm running 10.3.5 and have 3gigs of RAM. Thanks for any help.

I'll try this tomorrow.
Have not tried DVD playback on the thing yet.

thanks guys... it seems to happen after about 30 minutes - 1 hour of playback...
Mine is fine. I wasn't running full screen, and I have two monitors hooked up.

I ordered my 6800 from CDW in july but they keep pushing it back. Last I heard it would be in on the 29th of October but no word as of yet. Are they shipping in mass now?
My 30" and 6800 were scheduled OOB 10/29. My 30" shipped 10/27 WITHOUT THE 6800! I can't help but wonder if there are new 6800 problems. I don't have to pay for the display until the 6800 comes but I am anxious to get it on my new G5 that I have had for two weeks.

I had Apple separate my G5 2.5 and 6800 order into two separate shipments, in hopes to get the G5 faster, I ended up getting and OOB date of 10/29 for the 6800 and an OOB date of 11/12 for the G5. Both were shipped on Thursday 10/28.
