Hey guys, been having an issue with a 192sp 65nm gtx260 in a build for my friend.
Basically, when the machine posts i get blue dots/lines/squares against black bios screen with post info still visible.(it occasionally shows white boxes with short equations in them :s) It then continues to the vista loading screen and crashes before vista welcome.
Ive taken out my gtx260 and tried it with tx750w in my system, same issue.
Thought about updating/flashing bios but, as i am unaware of a method of updating with no OS, i have been unsuccessful.
I was actually running this card in sli for a while (3-5 months) in my setup so it was definitely working at one point. I though it might be an issue with pci-e 2.0 but same issues with both systems ruled this out.
Friend rig specs:
x2 715
msi 785g e45
4gb ocz 800
hx450w
500gb wd
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Also bare in mind there is no chance of rma/warranty as this is an oem nv model i got on the cheap..(i know, i know, im stupid)
tl;dr - ohh noes! Gtx260 trippin balls with blue dots and crashing no vista boot. wat do?
