Card was running great for 2 days...

Turn rig on this morning and no life.
Got an 7F on the motherboard.

System specs:
IP 35 Pro
E3110 @ 4.0GHz
PC&PC Quad 750
4GB of ddr2
2x1tb raid0
Water cooled except for the video.

Put my old video card in and it works great!
8800gtx

Any ideas?

From my experiance with the 9800 GX2 "Not 9800GTX2" the card sucks a lot of juice.

My old 600W SMPS was low on juice so it died slowly till one fine day my rig just did not start and i kept hear n' a loud cry from my XFX 9800 GX2...!!

Otherwise its a ok card, did not perform as much as i liked it too tough...!! Sign

P.S. My IQ 118 i think thats more than 90 hehe

this card requires 90+ IQ.

Surely that's why you don't have one :roll:

Talk about going easy on a guy for making a simple mistake.
