I installed a 6800 nu agp into my system.
it wasn't having proper contact with the modo (Asus P4PE) and was giving me crap. so i whigled it a little bit and the artifacts went away.
One time i was doing it again and i was kinda careless. There was that soul penetrating smell of burning. when i turned it on again the crad fan spun for about one second and then stopped. So i killed the system cried a bit and then got another 6800 nu cuz i thought it was the card that died. but! the new card was doing the same thing. on the other hand when i put in a GeForce 4 mx it worked so wtf is going on? would getting a new mobo fix my problem?
Please help !!!
I tried a 9700 Pro (which is functional and is now for sale in my FS thread) and it didn't work either.
I did try one of the 6800's and it did work in another system.
The only thing that works is my GF4 MX
The only difference that i note is that it doesn't require a power supply conection and the other video cards do.
The saga continues.
my RMA came in today. When i put it in the usual stuff occured ( runs for 2 secs and then nothing)
I used an Antec tru blue 480 watt PSU and the fans on the card ran, but no signal....so i'm assuming its the mobo.
I didn't inspect it yet although i think there are some brown marks in the AGP slot at the end of it. if you are looking towards the back of the case from the front.
