HELP 6800 CARD SCREWED AFTER OC'ING

[hans030390]

change to the OFFICIAL drivers

make sure you are using stock bios, no OCing or softmodding

make sure you have the card insterted into the computer correctly, have the molex in, and possibly clean off the slot on the card (the gold part that goes into agp/pci-e slot)

check to make sure there is nothing wrong with the card running, and not running.

billwinkle raises a good point, albeit in an acerbic fashion.

Returning merchandise damaged through misuse is an increase in Circuit City's overhead, decrease in profits.

When the cost of returns gets too high they'll have to either put the cost back on us with restock fees, or sell the merchandise at a higher average price.

SOMEBODY has to pay for your mistake, why shouldn't it be you?

I do hope you can salvage your card supertyphoon. Make sure you use driver cleaner wehn unistalling you card drivers. That may help. And maybe reinstall the drivers that came with the card.
good luck

The 75.90 drivers are bad news all the way around. 71.84 is what you should be running, not that beta stuff. I couldn't even boot my my sli rig after installing 75.90s

If you don't know what Driver Cleaner is and then try to say you will try to have a friend FIX your video card, you have no right to use that fine piece of silicon. Its like the moron that wrecked the Viper his Daddy bought him hours after taking it off the lot -- only you didn't kill your best friend, you just wasted a perfectly good video card that none of us had better see at the return counter at CC.
