Having some problems with my 6800 LE that I bought from Newegg awhile ago. The computer boots fine and everything works. Here is my setup (all brand new):

Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939 90nm
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
1GB OCZ Gold Revision 2 PC4000
256MB DDR3 6800 Limited Edition (underclocked Ultra)

The only problem is when I tried to ruin the Guild Wars pre-order CD and I get to the menu where I need to set up a user/pass in order to beta test the game, I see tearing, lagging, and a bit of freezing. I recently had some issues with my CD-R/RW but I fixed that by changing the little connector on the back of the CD-R/RW to master, since that was how it was connected on the motherboard. Now the CD-R/RW works fine, but the graphics card is still having issues. 3dMark05 runs really bad and used to freeze with my 400W PSU (blue screen with the memory countdown). Then I fixed my CD-R/RW issue and it was ok, but it still only gets like 2FPS.

It also just changed my Antec 400W PSU to a Antec 550W today, if that helps. Do I need to reformat or reset the mobo settings somehow? I'm a bit confused as to how I am supposed to connect this video card. There are two seperate power connectors going into the 6800 LE. It is not going to anything else. Everything is brand new and runs like a dream. Did I miss something?

My 6800 LE is not running 3D games....hmmm.....

What do you guys think? Do I need to RMA?

The power leads that you connected to the 6800 LE - are they connected to any other device besides the 6800 LE?
