Hi

What does this mean?

From few days,once or twice the screen flickered for a second pink colour.

Today,the entire session from the boot screen to choose between win xp and win 98 to the time loading xp was in pink colour contiunously and the desktop appeared normally.

But,the part of the loading showing colours is the part that doesn't even require vga so can I assume my radeon 9800pro to be safe?



So this menas my dear radeon is safe.

Also,just today did i format my pc and it hung when i started it (not the first time though).


My desktop shows certain coloured dots at some places some times, even after formating,no oc and these dots can be temporarily hid by puting something over them and then removing it.

More trouble,my vga is now giving artifacts just after formating with drivers that were provided with the card.

Chances are it's defective. I had the same problem with my 9800 Pro and I'm gonna RMA it soon. And always check the BIOS, if you are getting artifacts there it's definitely defective.
