So not but yesterday, i ran down to my local BestBuy and picked up a PNY 9600GT to play with(they have a 30 day return policy, so basically i go there try out any GFX card and return then buy one i liked from newegg.com!) and give it a whirl.
Everything goes great play some Company heroes without a hitch, OC it a bit to 750/1000 and run some benchies then whilst browsing my favorite tech site(TPU ) boom! BSOD!!!! OUT OF FRIGGIN NO WHERE. I plug back in my 7300GS i was just previously using and find out that VISTA KILLED MY 9600GT.
How? easy, i have an Abit 630a with an onboard 7025, Vista apparently thought i "needed drivers for the onboard" and when it finished installing it gave me the BSOD because i have the onboard GPU disabled, so obviously a conflict arouse between the onboard and 9600GT that some how ended up killing the 96000GT. All it does now when i plug it in is spin the fan at %100 forever until i shut down the computer. Upon using onboard, everything is fine, EXCEPT booting into Vista, it just gives me a black screen and nothing.
So, there you go, i(more like Vista!) killed a GFX card worth $200(though i wont tell bestbuy that wink, wink, ) and now my onboard is about as use-full as it was before.
So now im back to the 7300GS... within less then 24 hours of owning a PNY 9600GT
