I'm having really trouble with this card...
I thought I would upgrade for the last time on a agp motherboard, so for an easy upgrade I bought the Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ SILENT 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-032-GW) from overclockers.
I can't get the card to work. I was advised to upgrade the PSU which is fair enough so bought the Tagan TG530-U15 530W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU (CA-008-TG) again from overclockers.
And it still doesn't work.
The motherboard is Abit AN7 would that cause a problem? the display is a Pioneer XDE436 screen?
Basically what it does is if I use the VGA conncector and turn on the bios and everythign comes up and then loads windows, then freezes about 30 seconds into running the system. next time it reboots there interference on the windows xp loading screen and you can't really see whats happening.
When using the DVI socket going straight into the HDMI input of the plamsa nothign comes up at all when in bios and booting stage and then when windows is finally loaded up boots up the screen, change the res for 1980 x 1020 again freezes about a minute afterwards, once reboot get no image on screen. Have to almost re-sit the card for it to work again.
I've tried in to another computer excatly the same results... and different power supply - which leads to the graphics card being faultly - however went back to overclockers and they returned it saying it worked ok..
So then it seems to be the plasma playing up - but this card I've also got - XFX GeForce 7800 GS Extreme Edition 256MB GDDR3 AGP works fine and runs like a dream.
Anyone got any ideas on what I should do? - sorry for the long post, hope it all makes sense....
Thanks in advance...
