So, you\'d say it was the GPU? That\'s what I think. I know that the CPU was alright; 30 Celsius or so. The motherboard has allowed us to do things but very recently it stopped working too.

We haven\'t been able to access anything.

I would have RMA\'ed the video card already but the mobo could very well be the issue. Tough call. Replace \'em both, sounds good.

Sounds to me like it\'s the link between the chair and the keyboard.

ESAD Vid..

I sent in a RMA notice for the card.

It was either the video card or the mobo and all things considered.. I picked the video card. Pretty easy first choice, considering the issue of the video not working.

damn sweet setup, pretty much like the one I built a little while back. Too bad you are having issues with it though, my BFG 6800GT has been flawless so far... just lucky I guess.

I just got HL2

:eek:

Well, I got my new video card.. finally. Rebuilt my case, everything works.

There\'s a couple of bugs to work out (vanilla Quake III is giving me odd genport errors while Threewave is just fine.. etc) but it works.

I guess my RMA\'ed card really was the issue!

Got it to work. I had to modify my config outside of the game.

So far everything\'s good. No issues. Just short of 11,000 with default settings in 3DMark03.

Congrats on the RMA fix !

11.000 3D03 points with the card @ 350/1000 ? That\'s a decent score.

Maybe you can take it to 400/1100.
Also, what Forceware r you using ?

My own rig hates all 66.xx drivers

It\'s the BFG OC, so it might be a little higher than 350/1000.

Using v66.93 drivers. So far, so good.

if it\'s the BFG it\'s set at 370/1000. Mine is rock solid stable at 420/1140... but I haven\'t tried to see if I can get any more out of it since I installed my Arctic Cooler
