Help! Radeon 9500 Pro issue! Monitor not receiving signal from card!

[Krk3561]

Last night the card was working fine and when I went to turn my computer on this morning my monitor wouldnt display the picture. I tried re-seating the card and it didnt work either. I switched the card out and the other card works fine. I didnt touch my computer from when I turned it off last night to this morning when I went to turn it on. It just died on me for some strange reason. The fan is spinning up on the card and the floppy power connector is connected too.

Is there anything I can do, or do I need to RMA it? I bought it from Newegg on 12/11/2002. I also flashed it with then Warp11 bios to OC, do I need to flash it back? How should I do it since I cant see whats going on on my monitor?

Are Your Monitor refresh rates set to high... Go into Your desktop with the other card and uninstall the ATI drivers and then try and reinstall the card and the drivers.

No, I'm using the computer right now with the same exact model video card that I took from another computer. Theres no picture at boot or in windows with my card. The card that I took is in the computer now and works perfectly.

can someone PLEASE help me!

 

[Krk3561]

Can I still RMA the card if I purchased it in December? How should I go about flashing it with the original bios also?

Try it in another computer. If it doesn't even see video for post, then rma it if you can.

 

[Krk3561]

I tried, didnt see anything. What should I do about the bios if I'm going to RMA it?

 

[Markfw]

If the card is fried, they won't see it. I wouldn't advise you to do something I consider immoral, but I don't think that OC'ing a card can fry it, it would just stop working when it got warm. I wouldn't try it again tho. If the RMA fails, then it a hard learned lesson, but don't hold it against the comany you got it from.

 

[Krk3561]

Its not cause I fried it cause I've been running it at the same speeds for 4 months now. It was working perfectly last night before I shut down and didnt work when I booted up this morning. Oh, and I got it from Newegg, supposedly people have had good experiences with RMA w/ them.

Just go do the online RMA request thing at Newegg. It should let you know if you can or can't.
