Having zero luck at the moment!

All of a sudden just browsing the web my screen reset and my colour screen basically went completely black. I had to manually restart the machine.

So I manually restart the machine and get green dotted lines along my bios.

As I'm booting into windows the colour screen has completely gone to 16bit and a small resolution.

I've tried reseating both cards and reinstalled the drivers but now the second card just isn't recognised at all!

One dead 480?

Bought it off Nathwraith off here I guess I'm going to have to give him the bad news!
 
Ok so just installed the drivers. It picked up the card ok but refuses to load anything but a 16bit display at low res. The card shows some dotted green lines in bios. Surely faulty! Rjk you on msn?

EDIT : Just removed this card and put the other in and straight away it's fine with no bios corruption or 16bit windows.

Gutted, another RMA to sort out!

Might be hard to get another 480, theyre very thin on the ground, mainly refurbs.
