DR.Death · Mar 26, 2010, 03:05 PM

what no one has any ideas how to fix this

warup89 · Mar 26, 2010, 03:08 PM

Try using another video card, the 3870x2's are kinda problematic.

DR.Death · Mar 26, 2010, 03:09 PM

ya i will have to find one my card that i use is about 300miles away

Dice · Mar 26, 2010, 03:16 PM

May sound silly but you checked that you have the ram is in the right slots? mine needs the ram in slots "a" if you only have two sticks.

DR.Death · Mar 26, 2010, 03:18 PM

i have 3 sticks and ya there in the right slots its errorin on the video card i may just need to find my self someone with a pci card

FreedomEclipse · Mar 27, 2010, 10:06 PM

take 1 stick of ram out & run it in Dual channel mode - I have a Nforce4 rig & it hates weird ram setups - either run a full stack so its all in dual channel or run with 2 sticks of ram. secondly check with your mate that the hardware was in working condition prior to sale (not saying you should doubt your friend - but Im sure he'd understand since your having issues with it)

DR.Death · Mar 27, 2010, 10:24 PM

tried one stick and and it was i seen it when it went in the boxes

FreedomEclipse · Mar 27, 2010, 10:29 PM

still not working then??

DR.Death · Mar 27, 2010, 10:30 PM

nope i may have to wait tell the 9th tell i can get a pci card ...lol

FreedomEclipse · Mar 27, 2010, 10:35 PM

so you have no old PCI (not PCI-E. Just good old PCI) cards lying around?? just to test & see if it is the graphics card, see if you can borrow one or something.

DR.Death · Mar 27, 2010, 10:37 PM

well all my stuff is home and i am 4 hours away from that and the guy i bought it from is comming up the 9th so i will just fix it then

GL with that - for the price of a plane ticket & lunch I can rough him up too if you wish

hopefully it is that graphics card thats gone wrong...have you tried reseting the bios??

DR.Death · Mar 27, 2010, 10:41 PM

yep i am thinking the bios needs to be updated its from back in the x850 days so it might be out of date and just be like wtf do i do with this because the last thing to run on it was a 1900xt so its old

FreedomEclipse · Mar 27, 2010, 10:50 PM

well Im not sure about updating the bios - from what i can see here the last bios was released in 2005 & it doesnt say anything much really
