Hi all,
I picked up a 7800GS from the B-grade section last night, installed it today (having removed the drivers) and tried to boot up the PC. Everything is fine until I it gets to the Windows loading stage. I see the Windows logo for a second and then the screen goes black followed by a no signal message from the monitor.
I tried disconnecting unneeded optical drives, using only 1 stick of RAM etc - same result. My previous card works fine.
What else should I try before RMAing the card?
System specs are
Abit IS7-E2 mobo
P4 3.2GHz Prescott
2GB Geil dual channel value kit
BFG 6800GS and XFX 7800GS (the new one)
500W PSU
