Rma? You could try putting the card in another computer just in case.
FIX IT! For me, please!
Okay, here are the details.
DO NOT TELL ME TO RMA IT. THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF ME POSTING THE LENGTHLY POST>_<

We have an 8800GTS640mb EVGA card, used. I installed the drivers for it, (and have tried other versions, that is not the problem.) and put the card in. I then plugged the card in, and started up.
Right at my 680i screen, I have lines running down the screen. The same ones as the Windows SS. Once in windows, Vista correctly tags the card as an 8800GTS, and proceeds to install a VGA Generic Driver for it. Despite the fact that drivers are present.
GPU-Z reports a 8800GTS, but nVidia Control Panel does not open, and EVGA Precision Tool says that, "No Supported Hardware Detected."

I flashed the bios to the Stock one, (As far as I know, it wasn't modified to begin with.) No change.
What to do?
THE COMPUTER IS NOT AT FAULT. MY 9600GSO WORKS FINE.
I want to know AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Please tell what you know.

Please read the big, red text at the bottom of my post. I am simply trying to figure it out before returns are made.

Okay, sorry, but I am not looking for an RMA. A return will be made if needed, but I want to FIX it.

Do that and reinstall the drivers. If that doesn't work, I'd say your card is broken.

* Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall. * Reboot your PC in Safe Mode. * Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean. * Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected. * More drivers can be selected for the same cleaning process. |
