ok so my 7900GS with factory OC from BFG (a company I will never buy from again) just fried about 3 days ago. I loaded COD4 and the map changed then I saw lines and dots on my screen. sorta looks sombody took a marker and just put streight lines and dots all over. its not blocking out the whole image but it makes things hard to see. does it in bootup and windows. and it does it with both my monitors and my little brothers monitor. so its definately the card. I also swapped it to the other PCIE slot and it does the same thing.
There are no signs of burning anywhere on the card nor a burning smell. the card only seems to load windows when its in lower than 1920 by 1200. it loads 800 by 600 fine well aside from the odd looking lines and dots.
anyways my PSU is a thermaltake 400W with a rateing of 10A and 15A on the 2 12V rails is that sufficient for a 4850 and if not what will that be sufficient for?(PSU is the thermaltake matrix )
also now should I be replaceing the PSU as well as the card? IMO PSU killed the GPU. but could the motherboard do it?
