I bought an AGP X850XT from another forum member a while ago. Anyway, it was DOA and he refused to offer a refund saying that it was functional when he posted it. The postal service refused to honour any insurance because the box wasn’t damaged. Long story short: I’m stuck with a dead X850XT and I was wondering if there's anything I could do with it.
Here’s a shot of it in windows.
It enters a restart loop as soon as I install any drivers. I've now tried it in 2 motherboard with 3 power supplies, all with the same result so it’s definitely the card.
I was wondering if part of the power circuitry had failed and if so, which bit. I know there are a lot of people on this forum with godlike knowledge of this card… suggestions??
Here's a shot of the back of the card
PS if you’re wondering what the green stuff is, it's ink! The previous owner tried painting it. Me thinks this could be the cause….
