I recently bought a second HD 4850 for my rig. A small side upgrade to keep me entertained for a while, it was used of the bay and i think it was one of the earlier models as its quite longer then my other one with the red single slot cooler.
The seller assured me that it works fine and doesn't artifact etc. However when i fitted it today to test i got dots on the motherboards bios boot screen, where it displays the motherboards logo, these dots continue if i enter the bios. Then Three or four thick verticle blue lines. These are opaque and the things underneath can be seen with a blue tint. After about 10-15 min the whole screen becomes pixelated with different shades of blue squares, the mouse however still displays as normal. When the computer does function before this i tried to open ccc and it said something to the effect that there is no device installed. Opened Gpu-z and all its fields were empty on all pages.
Im fairly confident that the card is nakard but before i contact the seller saying what the hell i want to be sure it isn't an issue on my part. I know my rig can handle the card as i already have one installed but i just swapped it over. As its the same card drivers shouldn't be an issue right? Also i did intend to run this as crossfire, im assuming this is no longer possible as it isn't actually being detected by ccc? I poped my old card in a boom back to normal.
Thanks all, im extremely un happy... was looking forward to this allot
