Damaged mobo perhaps?
What Slayerstaps is trying to say is that you should eliminate all possibilites before assuming that your card is dead, there's always hope that some other component may be responsible for a video problem, specially when the video card is by far the most expensive component in your PC. Good luck.

Hi,
Im actually running my PC at the moment with an old GeForce FX 5200, surely if it was my motherboard (which is less then a week old) no card would work??????? But to be on the safe side Im going to test it on my m8s PC.

I tried my 9800pro in another pc and its still dead Ive been in touch with the company I purchased it from and Ive got to return it and it will take upto 3 weeks before I get a replacement

If its not too late, try and clean the metal connectors that go into the agp slot on the card with rubbing alcohol and qtips. My Geforce 4 stopped working in any computer, and i did this and now it works perfectly.

Try putting it in some dirty washing up water but u must leave it to soak over night.
then in the morning place it in the microwave to dry it u want that on high power after that u have to put the placenta of a recently born baby on it. Spin round 3 times then it should work if all else fails u could always, give me your mobo p4 and memory thx.












ps all its ok im a m8 of hookey's

It is 100% DEAD , I sent it back to MD today, now Ive got to wait 14-21 days as they have to send it back to the manufacturer (ATi) I hope they dont say my warrantys void due to oc'ing (its only just over a month old! I did my best to make it look like it was unmodified Oh well fingers crossed for me guys

 

[HookeyStreet]

Also as I was cleaning up the card I realized that I had one with a R360 core and could have flashed it to an XT AND my new Ramsinks should be here tomorrow aswell GUTTED!!!

I just hope nothing else dies on me, I cained my PSU the other week (admittedly it was a piece of shite Q-Tec 300Watter) Thats why Im not going overboard with my P4 CPU (Ive only got stock cooling on it at the moment)

 

[BiGShiRley]
