POST would be the first place I checked. However, I do have an old p35 motherboard with a blown PCI slot. The motherboard would beep like crazy if anything was plugged into it.

I don't recall begging for anything. I simply came here when I too had a problem and was polite to everyone I met. So you object to others offering something based on their own experiences, and instead of simply ignoring it decided to arrogantly insult me for no reason. I wasn't here to...

From what I can gather it wasn't known if the card was even being detected, which I would imagine would have been displayed during POST if the BIOS was set up to display this information. I was trying to be useful at a time when the original poster had accepted that he wasn't going to get this...

Yes I have.

Should just be a case of installing the PCI-E card and setting the primary display in your BIOS, then saving. It is different from bios to bios, so maybe this setting is quite evasive on this particular version. Does the card's fan turn on when you boot up? Is the card designed for a higher...

If this was the case then I would imagine something would have burned out, and it wouldn't explain why the problem was solved without any further physical handling of the card. I have also used the stuff for years without damaging anything, so tend to measure it quite well. Much of the...

Just to let you know I think I have fixed this. Uninstalled everything Nvidia through Revo and removed all traces. Rebooted into safe mode and cleaned nvidia drivers and physx with Driver Fusion (just to be sure). Installed 320 drivers with clean enabled (minus Experience), and have run...

Sadly, the last post may have simply been a coincidence. The fan just went to full speed, and just before I black-screened it was bouncing between 4 and some ridiculously high temp. I'm guessing something is wrong with my card. :( All is reporting fine in GPU-Z since another (forced)...

Asylum - It would seem nvtools messed something up even when it wasn't running. I also uninstalled the performance module (overclocking utility) and something quite strange has happened. I didn't even alter the clocking settings and simply used the monitoring program, which appeared to mess...

It isn't a driver problem. Nothing was altered, but the PC wasn't on for a couple of days before this problem appeared. I was actually running the 3.14 and did (since this problem showed) installed the 3.20, but this hasn't altered the problem. I also installed nvtools, but it isn't...

I don't know where the sensor is, but it is the Zotec GTX 470 reference card. This one I believe: http://www.zotacusa.com/geforce-gtx-470-zt-40201-10p.html It's running this bios: 70.00.21.00.03 I just tried to update to the newest bios found here...

Hi. Today after turning on my PC I started to crash after about 5 minutes even when idle. I tracked it down to my GFX suddenly overheating to 139 degrees with no GPU load! I took the card apart, cleaned the fan (including fins), took off the heatsink, cleaned off all the dried up and brittle...
