HIS X1900XT Boot problem

[darren.head]

Hi, My HIS X1900XT intermttently displays corruption on startup. It doesn't happen all the time.
I have taken out the card and re-seated it but to no avail. When it starts OK it runs flawlessly. It only seems to happen after it has been shutdown overnight and not on a restart.
I dont have access to another PC with pci express so cannot try it in another machine or try another card. Any other suggestions?

Mine is about a month old and started about a week or so after I got it. I have also tried using the other dvi out but it still does it.

What bios version are you running on your 975x PUE. I have 7.1 and am running @ stock until the warm boot issue is sorted, as my wife uses it too. Maybe its the MB? Dont have another card to try though.

Have you tried the 7600GT in it to see if it is the HIS or the MB at fault?
I've read on these forums that it takes 8+ weeks to get HIS cards RMA'd and as it is an intermitent fault , would the cards qualify.

Just to make things worse....... the fan has started to rattle.
Bit dissapointed having spent a little extra for this brand, and with so many of them being plagued by this fault.
