Leadtek WinFast GeForce 2 Ultra problem

[TNOguy]

Hi,

This AGP video card is displaying nothing but weird colors even on the initial DOS boot screen, so I can't even get into BIOS.

I am building a dual AMD XP 1800+ system based on the MSI K7D Master board, and had just installed W2K successfully. There were some momentary screen flickers, including random weird out of place colors at times during the W2K install. I dismissed them until I could get the video card drivers installed. I had just installed the drivers from the LeadTek CD and attempted a reboot. I did successfully reboot once and was in the process of installing the Utility s/w from the CD. That is when my monitor started freaking out with the weird colors.

I have removed the card and reseated it with no success. I also lowered the default 133 MHz board jumper to 100 MHz. Nothing helps.

Shouldn't be a power problem--I have an Enermax 550W, and the AGP power connector is in place.

I am stuck and hope someone can help please?

Many TIAs,

I had the same thing happen to me with my Ledtek GF2 Ultra, you have to RMA it. Call up Leadtek and they'll tell you to mail it to them, it's a known problem so even if your warrenty is up you shouldn't have any trouble geting them to take it. Have no worries dude, nothing is wrong with your computer .

Many thanks for that information bdog231

I ordered this card from newegg a few weeks ago. I will RMA with them. Coincidentally, I notice they no longer sell this card :Q
