Heh, yes that's an easy way :) But, I meant more as in benchmarking and stress tests. Any ideas?

How much is that in USD? I'd go for a Quad core if possible :)

Well, this thread's problem should be over :) First of all, let me thank you all for your extensive help. Not only have I learned a lot, but I'm grateful of knowing Anandtech has always had people willing to help with one's issues, no strings attached. I know there's no words that will...

Well, I just finished building the new computer, and want to run some tests to ensure everything is working properly. Here's the hardware: ASUS P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 4x Crucial 2GB, 240-pin DDR2 PC2-5300 CT25664AA667 VisionTek Radeon HD 4850 2x Western Digital...

Ok, so I'm thinking of trying to cool the computer with external componentes to try to see if only the fan is the one that doesn't work. This way, a cooler will actually be a good investment. What ideas do you have to cool the computer?

As a matter of fact, I did miss out plugging in the connector at first, but yes, when turning on the computer I got the message to plug in the power supply connector to the card. As for swapping the DVI connector, yes I did. I tried both ones :)

Ouch... what I was hoping wasn't :( Replacement... oh boy... I'll talk to VisionTek and see what they can do since getting the card back to the US is very expensive :( That said, I'll follow along that path for now. However, I do not have high hopes. On another thought if that doesn't...

So.... disregard everything.... I found the reason why the card is overheating.... probably because the fan is NOT turning lol... I'm assuming this narrows the problem down to the following: 1. Lack of enough power 2. Card is dead Any ideas? Thanks!

No, I haven't tried it in another computer, yes it's a new retail card, and I do believe the fan does work, although I haven't precisely checked (will check again once I'm @ home). I'll definitely look into testing it in another computer, although I have none to do it :( Everything is...

Roger, will try that as well :) VisionTek support comments on the red light "It is a protected mode to keep it from overheating".

Oh yea... the only reason why I'm not tripping about buying another power supply is because the one in my old computer died... so I've had no desktop for about a month now (my good 'ole Thermaltake finally died). The other video card I will borrow (on Monday) is a 7600 from EVGA I believe...

Actually, the video is precisely of that... I have nothing plugged but the essentials :)

Thanks for the info.... unfortunately I don't have access to any low power video card... I basically upgraded from my AGP mobo and don't have anything PCI express. If anything I would need to buy one for troubleshooting :( Regarding in which connector I plugged it, I can't really remember and...

Here's a video of what's happening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaIMFloOIh4 Yes, I have a shaky hand, and yes my camera sucks hehe... but it gets the point across. Edit - monitor goes off at 6:34

How about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817371007
