Nvidia GTX 480, had since 2011. I have switched it out with a couple other cards over the last month, upon putting it back in to the PC it worked fine but flickered at time, then after a few days the screen above started showing.
Have tried:
1. Different power supply (using paper clip jumper method whilst other PSU powered the motherboard).
2. Used the second PCIe slot in the motherboard instead of the first.
3. Installed various different Nvidia drivers.
4. Used second DVI monitor connector.
5. Removed card, disassembled, cleaned, applied new thermal paste.
Does this mean it's finally over for this card? The only thing I can think of left is using my old monitor, which is in its box right now. I am using a DVI to HDMI adapter with this LG monitor. Resolution cannot be changed. Graphics card setting in Windows show no card is even installed.
You think Asus will RMA the card? I think their warranty is 3 years but I'm probably a few days out. I bought it at OCUK. Thanks.
