Hello,
My friend gave me his Sapphire 9800PRO 128MB RAM, as it wasn't working correctly. There were amazing artifacts everywhere inside Windows, while booting, even in bios. The card was underclocked, as its fan was not working properly.
I think that the overheating caused damage to memmory, therefore those pernament artifacts appeared. I tried flashing bios with very low clocks, but it didn't help.
Does anyone else have the same experience with video card memmory? Is there any way how to fix it? Is it possible to disable one of memmory chips to allow the others work properly?
All ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
