Last update: Got the new card and a poor mans PSU, a raidmax 500W, and everything worked fine until now. Yes, most probably the cpu bottlenecks it, but it will be upgraded also as soon as the budget allows it (new mobo -> 2nd v. card -> new cpu). I'll test that x550 on other pc when i have...

just a little heads up, i've just tested a gigabyte 8500GT also, and the card worked perfectly. So the verdict is: busted ASUS 8600GTS card. What really made this seem like a very weird problem is, the ati x550 which had the same problem like my 8600gts. Very odd ...

And now i'm posting with the "ASUS en8600gts silent" installed. As u can see on the pic in this post, same problem again :| I'm gonna buy the hd5770 and if the pc works fine with it, i'm gonna keep this mobo until i buy the 2nd 5770.

Posting with the ASUS 8800GTS 320M installed aaaaand...... everything works perfect. Yep, i'm either crazy or the computer is. The POS is out of warranty but i don't care, fack it. Btw, both the 8600gts and 8800gts are ASUS. Difference is that one is silent (passive cooling) and other, 8800...

Ok, cleared the cmos memory too, even have a new PSU from a friend 450W and still the same problem. The only time when it worked fine was when i had the 8800gts plugged in. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence that it worked so i'm gonna repeat that test as soon as my friend gets home.

I've changed the bios to the last 3 versions and with all of them i had the same problem. What i want to do, and wanted to do some time ago is to clear the CMOS RAM. BUT, i didn't knew how to remove the battery. What i mean, is that it wouldn't come out easily and i didn't wanna force it out...

Ok i've put fast some stuff in that profile. First of all, i've tried my video card on 2 other systems and both of them had the monitor not starting like the pc was turned off. Yes, you could hear windows loading but the monitor wasn't starting. Don't know exactly what mobo's they had, but...

I've visited that page before i created this thread and tried what it said there. The only thing that worked was changing the slots frequency. From first try i modified it to 110 and the pc worked fine for 1 day. It was started about 5-6 times and every time it worked fine. The next day the...

I already said i'm gonna change this, ofc ill buy a new psu with the new v.card. From the answers i got it seems that almost no one is carefully reading what i say and THAT'S why we move in circles.

Still need help over here :( I wanna buy a his 5770 1gb tomorrow BUT i wanna be sure that my mobo is working fine. Cause if the the mobo is busted, ill have to replace that first.

Ok, so, why did i have the same problem with the ati card? Does it have exactly the same problem? And this ati card works perfect on his pc.

I understand what ur saying, to start the card on x4 or x8 but then again, what if somewhere down the line i'm gonna start having the same problem as with x16? I want to know what exactly is the problem so i can fully fix it, not a cheap bypass. Like i said, until a month ago it worked...

Let's forget for a second about the PSU brand. Just explain me this: Why is the 8800gts working on my pc flawlessly and the 8600gts plus the x<something> old ati card aren't, while on his pc both the 8800gts and the ati card work while the 8600 doesn't lit the monitor? Only conclusion i can...

The new PSU was my friends, a 400W one but sadly, i did not look at what brand it is. Anyway, his pc works perfect so, if my PSU was the problem it shoudl've worked fine with his. Now i have another problem, i'm gonna lay out the tests that i've done in order. 1) Firstly, i used his PSU...

His system didn't even start with my video card and my system started perfectly with his 8800gts. So the video card is busted. Is it any danger to my other components if i continue to use it until i get a new card?
