Hi all,
for the past 3 weeks, i've had video problems like random lock ups, freezes and reboots, in games and when doing simple things like internet or Word, etc. (See sig for system, last board was an ASUS A8V)
At first I thought it was a power shortage so I replaced my PSU without results.
Then I've heard some issues with the Marvell Yukon LAN drivers so I updated them with no results.
I've updated my BIOS and drivers, no go!
Then I formated my computer but nothing changed.
I tried 3 different video cards, 9800PRO, FX5600 and Hercules 3DProphet Kyro2 4500 and all worked flawlessly.
I tried my BFG 6800GS on 3 other systems, K8V Deluxe with A64 3200+, A7V8X-X with Barton 2500+ (some lock ups) and A7A266 with a T-Bird 1400+. It worked well but on the A7V8X-X where I tested the card with HL2 for 2 days. I had some random freezes happened but not as annoying as on my system.
I replaced my ASUS A8V with a ASRock 939Dual-SATA2. Yesterday I installed the new board and formated. It froze on me in the Windows install. Same lock ups as before.
But now the issue is really bad. All I get on my monitor is PLEASE CHECK SIGNAL CABLE. The monitor doesn't get any signal from the video card. All my hardware starts normally, fans, HDD, DVD-ROM, etc but no screen.
So my guess is the video card. What do you think? It is unfortunate, I bought this card january 31st.
Thanks for you answers.
