Hello everyone,
Alright, I think I am having some problems with my video card, and I need some opinions or suggestions on what I possibly can do.
Here is my problem:
I got home from my trip out of town today and came to find out that my monitor blacked out, nothing would show up, I hooked up two other monitors and the same result had happened so I know it was not a monitor problem cuz they all worked on my other PC's. Alright, so then I thought to myself it may be a video card problem, I took it out and put in my older card that I had before I purchased the one I have in it now and the screen showed up, I was very disappointed in that result. I had just bought this card recently and I don't want to admit that the card is faulty.
Other notes I want to add is that I noticed earlier that my monitor was turning pinkish and then back to normal sometimes. Also I checked if the card was secured in the slot and to no avail. So, is my card done for?
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: Biostar P4M80-M4 Socket 478
Processor: Intel Celeron D 350 3.20Ghz
RAM: 2GB Ultra DDR PC3200 400MHz (1 GB of each)
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 7800 GS CO 256MB
Diablo ATX Switching Power Supply 450W 115V/230V 10A/5A
Anything else you need let me know and I will provide in more detail
Thanks in advance
