computerfreakxv Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 I think my new eVGA 7800GT is dead... it was working just fine before I left for work @ 4:00 and when I came home there were lines running all down my monitor... I can still boot into windows and runs stuff but the lines are everywhere... also I also think that there might be something wrong with my mobo too, because for some reason when I booted back up into windows all my mobo drivers were gone and I had to re-install them... what do you all think?

computerfreakxv Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 I just re-installed my mobo drivers and my VGA drivers, although when re-installing my VGA drivers it black-screened and I had to just cut the power. After I cut the power I took out my VGA and look at my mobo and VGA card and couldnt see anything wrong with the two... so I put everything back together and booted it back up and everything is running just fine as of right now... I even have my VGA drivers on here and it black-screen while loading them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

computerfreakxv Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 It's not been OCed at all. And I know it's not a heat issue because it's usually a nice 62-65 degrees in my room and I have a fan blowing on it. I always check the temps on the card while gaming and so far I havent seen them hit over 65C... it's running 42C right now. I would go ahead and RMA them both... but I NEED to have this computer right now and can't afford to be without for another week. I'm going to go ahead and keep it, but if I have ANY other problems out of ANY of it again I'll RMA faster then a mage runs when he/she spots a shaman.

akac Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 I had an xfx 5500 I think, was about a year ago had the same problem. Bought it from newegg brand new. In total I had it for about a month and a half and rma'd it 3 time on the third time the discontinued it and returned my money. Id say rma the card if you can there might be something wrong with it.
