Help Please Help
I just switched my mobo for the Asus P4P800-E Deluxe. Now when I boot up there are small dots and lines appearing on the screen, when I'm in Windows things gets alot worse, everytime I touch the mouse or I open up a program I get more dots and lines and distortion and the screen flickers and after a while the pc reboots, I checked my temps and they are just fine, 48 - GPU 30 PCB, I have the card at 350/1000 just in case.
The strange thing is that if I unistall the the Forceware, the problem is almost gone in Windows, but in the boot screen the problem is still there, I have tried different sets of Forceware, 71.84 and 71.89 both giving the same problem.
So what do you guys think, is it time for a RMA or is it something else??
The card is a Gainward 6800 GT Golden Sample, the rest of my PC is in my sig.

How old is the video card? Ever run into any problems prior?
[EDIT] Did you make sure your video card's fan power cable was plugged into your mobo.. if it runs that way.

Strangely enough it wasn't the cpu either, the cpu worked fine, they tested it and it was no problems, so I went to (JME) again and told them that the mobo was once again defective, they tested it and it worked, I then asked them to test the mobo with my cpu, and voila it didn't work, so they tested 3-4 cpu on it and it worked (both prescott and northwood), the only cpu that didn't work was mine  . Anyway, the rolled out 3 different Abit boards, 2 IC7 and one IC7-G with the latest bios and none of them worked with my cpu, the strange thing is that I had my old Abit IC7 mobo with the prescott cpu for about 6 months and it worked perfectly.
So I decided to go with Asus, it works very well, the only downside to it is that I got the I865PE Chipset instead of the I875, but I discovered that PAT can be enabled on this boar as well  .
Zardon, I hope at least I get my card back from them |
