Hello there!
To cut a long story short, I was playing on C&C3 Tiberium Wars this morning when my system rebooted itself. Instead of showing me the usual POST screen, I got 3 beeps instead.
I removed the card, checked the PCI-E socket, and made sure the power connector was in right.
THEN, I powered on my system, and all the top half of the screen is garbled characters/colours.
When my pc started loading the desktop, the display stays all black, then I get a BSOD with the top half completely garbled.
Tried Safe Mode, and also tried the card in my friend's machine, and still get the same.
Since I've had this card, I've always had artifacting and strange corrupt textures when playing games, especially Crysis and C&C 3 Kane's Wrath. Me being me, I've just persevered and ignored it thinking it was a thermal issue.
Has anyone else had problems with this card? I know you need a pretty hefty PSU to feed it, which is why I bought one before buying this card.
Any help appreciated :)
Thanks for yo' time.
