Dell Precision - Bad Graphics card?
Hi folks, I have a Dell Precision in for repair. I think the graphics
card is bad but I'm just looking to get a second opinion or two. I switched PCI-e slots and I have the same thing. Also changed monitors and DVI-cables. Here are a few pictures just to illustrate. http://img80.imageshack.us/i/dsc01546resized.jpg/ http://img709.imageshack.us/i/dsc01544resized.jpg/ http://img262.imageshack.us/i/dsc01547resized.jpg/ http://img98.imageshack.us/i/dsc01548resized.jpg/ http://img262.imageshack.us/i/dsc01549resized.jpg/ |

For sure. The dots on the screen shown in dsc01546resized.jpg are a tell-tale sign of either bad graphics card memory or a bad main graphics chip. nVidia or ATI??? I'll bet on nVidia, who are working very hard to overcome a well-earned reputation for hot-running and failing graphics chips... Ben Myers |
