Hello all, im having a few problems lately with my Comp and i reset the bios to optimized defaults which restored the show logo DFI logo setting, and i noticed the logo is distorted when it comes up looking similar to the windows logo when my X800XTPE's memory died, does this mean my board is broken?

It installs windows fine runs Oblivion and other programs ok but when i install CS and try 2 play it i get an error msg saying "memroy could not be read at...."

Sorry if this issue has been bought up before i did do a search but got nothing.

Cheers.
 
Yea when i startup the pc the DFI logo is all distorted and blocky, but when i had and x800 xt it did a similar sort of thing and i had 2 get it replaced, is ** card still working?

Oh right well mines packed and was just about to contact DFI about rma'ing it but if your sure its nothing bad ill have another go at insalling windows and see if its somthing else, my mates just had his new 1 back from DFI and his is doing the same thing, Just cant understand why it would start doing that if nothing is wrong with it?
 
Oh right so its the ATI card that makes it do that! Cos at first mine was ok but thats when i had my 7800GTX in but i let a mate use that and im using an ATI for a while, glad u mentioned that cos i was still unclear about it all couldnt understand why it was ok at 1st then went funny.

Cheers.
 
Ok cool thanks a lot lads, i know its goin of the subject a bit but the mate who is using my 7800GTX wants to buy it for 200 quid was just wondering if the 7900GT's are faster than the 7800GTX's as the both have same memory and 24 pipes?

Also from what i have read i am under the impression that the 7900 cores are more clockable?

Cheers.
 
Spot on lads cheers for that, i rekon ill get 1 and wc it as i already have the Alphacool pump rad and nf4 cooler.

Thanks again.
