There's a green light at the end of the card (opposite the dvi ports' side) when the computer is on and it stays on when pc is off. Is this normal?

If I remember correctly, (I put this card in a friend's computer) that led is just to show that it has power from the power supply. If you switch the power supply off the light will turn off. (showing the card does not have sufficient power) In other words, yes, this is normal for this card.

It is normal, it's just telling you its receiving power. Mine does it too and nothing has gone wrong.
197557
Yes mine too does the same too, but when you switch off the power supply it totally goes off.
197558
yep, like in most electronics there's 1 color to show it's "on"and 1 color to show it's "energized"

Let me confirm when I get home tonight. From what I remember, it is through DVI cables (double ended, male). More info to come.- Ron

No, but there is a small green light marked "protected" that stays on when the power is on.

No it's not! I have been amazingly pleased with mine. The reviewer is actually complaining about Nvidia's mobile setup they just didn't realize it. I had the same problem and received back a reply from MSI that fixed the issue. Nvidia is set to not use the card by default unless it's needed in order to save power. However it doesn't really need to use the card for most things so it never switches on. You can set the card to always be used and you'll see a huge increase in performance.

When the hub is on and the computer is off, the attached devices are still being powered. The blue lights are to indicate that the port is in use. You have to manually turn the hub off to cut power to your attached devices.

That all depends on what state your tower is in. I've never seen that light blink during standby or while I'm using it so you might wanna ask the manufacturer.

Yes, it is normal. When temps go up you will see the color leds change to yellow and the other 2 fans turn on. Even if you increase the fan speed manually it will only effect the fans currently running. I believe there is a switch on the card to make all three run all the time. But its not necessary as my card LEDs are always blue unless a video is playing or anything more demanding.

I'm not an expert on PC power requirements, but after 15 years of building and repairing PCs, I can say with certainty that the power supply can be the most finicky part of the computer. I'm not saying that it is what is causing your issues, but I've seen similar problems with power supplies in the past. It can also just be your power supply dying and it's only a coincidence that the symptoms decided to manifest after you switched to a new video card. My advice is to try to troubleshoot it as best you can. Perhaps underclock the new card to see if the problem disappears. Or if possible put back in your old card to see if the problem remains the same. If it does, it will definitely let you know something else is going on.

Your card should not be shutting down on you unless you have it OC'd beyond your cases ability to cool the card, or if the card is defective. I recommend testing you card at stock settings, otherwise send it back.

No it does not. The lights for the module itself are always on as long as the computer is on. Same usually goes for the fan led's as well.

If the lights remain lit when the computer is off, then the USB port into which this mouse is plugged is still being powered. This is not a fault with the mouse, but results from a setting within Windows or your motherboard. I recommended checking the USB selective suspend options in the advanced section of your selected power plan (even if it's a desktop computer) and the power management settings for the mouse in the device manager.edit: after doing some Googling, I've found some motherboards have what is called 'ErP support/compliance' or 'Deep S5 sleep' modes. If you know how to boot into your BIOS, look for a setting with one of those identifiers, and enable it.

The only light that is on by default is the power light, and it isn't too bright. I have not heard any noise from it, but there is a lot of background noise in the room. Its certainly quieter than a typical PC.

Let me answer this way. With the default settings on the card, it is whisper quiet. My whole machine is very quiet, and so is this card. I can't hear it in my living room. Of course in a graphics intensive game the fan will turn up higher, but honestly even then I haven't noticed it, and I'm pretty easily annoyed by that kind of thing.

Nope, only by unplugging it or it shuts off when the computer is completely off. Other than that the lights are always on since there's no real software with it

If the unit is connected correctly the power light should not stay on when the computer is turned off. If you have the unit connected incorrectly to the mother board then anything could be possible. All the units that I have the power light goes off as soon as the computer shuts down. Check your connections.

It should still provide power to the mouse while in sleep mode. As long as your computer itself is turned off, it is powering the USB ports, even though your monitor may be dark. The computer itself is still "on."

It has blue light when you plug the USB cable with the computer, and it turns off if you unplug it.
