Firstly i would like to say my X1900 GT has gone off RMA and im waiting for a replacement from HIS. Its been 5 weeks now i was told it was going to be 4 weeks.
Anyways......As you can see in the images above my problem is in game. Desktop, load ups etc all fine no crazy lines etc. However when i go in game i start to see strange lines come from places which shouldnt be there.
So i did the normal stuff.
1. up date drivers
2. virus scan
3. defrag
4. re install the game
5. system restore
6. rolled back the drivers.
7. Updated motherboard drivers
The problem started when i updated to the 7.1 ATI drivers from 6.10 the 7.1 driver just kept crashing and started to show strange lines. So i rolled back to 6.10........and to my suprsie the same problem was there.......
So i thought installed the 6.5 drivers off the CD that came with my card........these drivers probbly servred me the best. And before i installed the new drivers i always cleaned the old traces out before. So 6.5 drivers now in still the same problem. I had reached the last straw and did a format of my PC. Surely this had to work.
Once again i was wrong the same problem was still there.
My problem wasnt just in one game it also happend in:
3d mark o6
Counter strike source
Half life 2
DOD
BF2142
BF2
AND
BRIAN LARA Cricket 2005 - now if its happening in this game somethings gotta be wrong
So i contacted OCUK for RMA and a week later the card is tested and is faulty. OCUK sent it to HIS and are now waiting for a credit note from HIS so ocuk can send me a card.
Sigh ......... its been 5 weeks just waiting for HIS to credit OCUK. Its a big joke if u ask me since i was told it takes 4 weeks maximum.
OCUK have been great cant fault them but HIS ??????? What are they playing at.
The only bit of kit i changed was the monitor from a 17inch to 19inch however im sure this didnt cause it since it was running fine for 4 months and i have my xbox 360 hooked to it and its fine.
Another rant of mine is the time it takes for HIS give me a replacement or credit ocuk. Ive been without my main computer for 5 weeks now which i need for modeling applications and other programs. Fair enough if you tell me stright how long its ganna take thats fine. But when i called the HIS guy up last week (week 4) he said yea it might take another 2 - 4 weeks on top of what you have waited !!!!!!! i mean that is a big big joke. Its a shame i really loved the HIS cards but there support is rotten !
Its BFG or evga for me now
My specs are
Core 2 duo e6600
1 gig ram
160 gb hard drive
OCZ Modstream 520 watt PSU ( i got this PSU because i knew my card needed a powerful one)
So basicly i just want to know what might be the problem ??? ive come to 2 things
1. The card just gave up
2. The fan died causeing these lines
by the way the temps of my card where:
40 idle
high 60s under load
that seems abit high because when i first got my card they where:
low 30s idle
high 50s under load.
Anyways thanks to any 1 that replys.
