Possible card fault
Hi All,
I think i may have a problem with my Gainward 7800GS 512mb AGP8 card. Here is what happens about 70% of the time when booting up the pc. When booting and before windows comes up the dos type screen is just a mass of white vertical dots so to speak, then when windows starts the screen is covered in red horizontal zigzags. I have removed the card and refitted it but it makes no difference. I tried different drivers too. The card has two DVI connectors and i have tried both of them too. It's now just a case of keeping my fingers crossed that it boots with no problems and i dont want to buy another card if this one aint faulty Any thoughts!!!!!

Sounds like a memory module is going south. I think Gainward have a 3 year warranty. |
