Hey all,
First time post long time lurker...yadayada.
I have a XFX 6600gt 128mb AGP card and it is flaking out on me. It started about 2 days ago only while running WoW, the screen would go black and come back off and on. This got worse and if I would alt-tab to the desk top it would stop for a bit (I know I should have stopped but it is my gf's rig and I was busy). So I started paying more attention and it is at the point where when I boot the system it's fine until the windows logo..then it goes black and thats it. The system is still on and there seems to be HD activity but no picture. I have changed monitors and still no different.
I have a home build system:
Mobo: Asus A7NBX-E
CPU: XP 3200+ Barton
Mem: 2 Gigs DDR-400
PS: Enermax Whisper EG465P-VE (430 watts)
(aofc) Video: XFX 6600gt 128mb AGP.
Guess the question really is, is the card going bad? Like I said I tried another working monitor and it was the same result. I reseated (sp) and cleaned every connection and card and I do not have another card to test against.
Thanks for taking the time to read and hope you have some ideas. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
