galla2k4eva Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) :angry2: Just put together a new system and all seems to be working okay apart from the display. On the POST screen there are strips of letters that are blue, in the bios parts of letters are missing, its the same letters that have the same parts missing, some of them are fine. When I load something graphical (Knoppix) there are stripes of darker pizels down the screen. I know the monitor is okay as I use it with 2 other computers.

Psychotic_god Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Sounds like a graphic card problem. Make sure its plugged all the way in, thats usually what happens, people don't seat it all the way in. Have your overclocked your GPU yet?

kobalt Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I had someone's pc once with that problem, it was like Psychotic_god said a video card problem. But not what you think, it seemed like the video card wasn't held with it's screw for a long while and the slot was loose, so some of the fingers were barely touching or something.The card was ok i tried it in my tester and it worked fine. So my advice would be to check the slot, maybe even dust in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Raven65 Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Seems to be a video card problem but, Before you go and buy a new one why don't you try another that you have to double check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
galla2k4eva Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Haven't got another pci-e card and I threw my old pci card away a few days ago. I tried the whole NES routine, take it out blow it, blow the socket plugged it back in and it still seems to be the same. Any other suggestions? Oh btw there was some plugs marked PCI-Express on my psu but I cant find anywhere on the motherboard or graphics card to plug them, are these meant to be plugged in?

Does your PSU support PCI-E? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
galla2k4eva Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Right I've checkd theres no socket for it and in the manual it mentions PCIE_PW1 as the PCIE power but it's a molex connector. Cant see any sockets on the graphics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 6600gt does not need a molex plugged into it. Most likely it is your video card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dngrsone Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I had a problem with my first 6600GT artifacting like that... RMA'd it and the replacement works great. No power connector on the 6600GT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I had a friend with this problem(similar) he said he solved it by not skrewing the card in and just letting it sit...really wierd but it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
