Ive been building my own systems since I started messing with computers but Im sorta stuck here.
I bought the Diamond HD3870 on 11/15/07. I got it on the 21st or so and all went well. Fantastic card imo.
I got the Idea to Crossfire 2 of them so I bought an ECS KA9 Extreme and I recieved that 3 days ago. I moved everything into a full tower I had bought a new PSU also.
New install of Vista 32 and all runs really really well for 24 hours.
Last nite I was watching a an .MKV, and my system got really slow and I got a "your display adapter has stopped working" and crash.
I restart and Its slow and crashes again. I tried to uninstall the CCC and disable the card and start over and the 7.11's say I have no hardware... It has defaulted to "Standard Display Adapter" in the device manager.
I reinstalled another PCIE gpu I had laying around and all seems fine. I tried the HD 3870 after Driver cleaner and safe mode and still Catalyst says it cannot detect hardware. Weird thing is I still have a vast choice of resolutions with the failed one, if it is failed...
My main moniter is a Magnovox 26 inch HDTV using DVI. My secondary is Sharp Aquos 42 (for Bluray and HDTV, H264)
Anyone have it fail, but not burn up before? It wasnt even that hot when I took it out and I had been monitoring temps using Riva tuner because I didnt like how hot the default HD3870 card got without a bump in the fan.
Im so mad... I have set up an RMA but Id prefer not to have to do that, any ideas?
Thanks so much love this forum.
