Hi
I recently built a PC and upon turning it on I found dashed lines going down the screen. I've tried replacing the monitor, cable with no luck, however when I replace the graphics card it does seem to work. Before I sent off for a replacement for the HD 4850 I was wondering if there was any known fault with that motherboard.
Secondly, even with the other card I put in, the 8800 GTS, installing windows seems to go really slow. The only thing I can think of is the fact that the power supply thats being used on has the 4 pin ATX_12V connector not the 8. However this shouldn't make a difference as it only has an E8400 in it. Also, the 8800GTS has a 6 pin powerc connector, not 8.
The only things I can think of is
1) Power supply being faulty, or not working because its not the 8 pin 12V connector.
2) Graphics card faulty
Any ideas?
Thanks
