Real quick, whats wrong with my comp ?

[crawford]

I just built 2 computers with all the same parts, and one worked perfectly and the other one is wierd. When i first start the computer it beeps once (like normal) and then the screen goes all crazy with little snow-like things. Everything seems fine, but i get that snowy picture with no bios screen. Anyone know anything to check ? I put the ram in a different slot, and i reseated the video card. Thanks a lot, im trying to figure this out by tonight

Try a different video card.

You watered the mobo because it was green?

Sounds like a bad vid card.

lmao evadman, anything else ? ill check back at this thread as soon as I check the video card. too bad i need the vid card from this computer.

Yea the video card is defintely dead. That blows because now I have to RMA it at newegg. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or do i have to send it back, wait and then they send it to me ?

Not that I know of. However, I just RMAd a mobo to them and it took 6 days total to get my new one. You could just buy a cheap video card from a B&M store to hold you over until the RMA is returned.

You need to call em and work it out. They'll tell you their procedures. I'm pretty sure they have to receive it before they'll send you a replacement.
