Oh look, Cleecooo's killed something... again. Help?

I've just had to format my SSD due to windows not booting properly and now I just can't get nVidia control panel to recognise either of my cards.

Windows showed the second card to be faulty in device manager:

I've taken that card out, nothing improved.

Installed 3 different sets of drivers, one old, one new, one beta

No joy

Installed monitor drivers. No joy.

Re seated cards. Nothing.

Anything else?

Oh no! Hope something can be resurrected!
I've found out that my older more trusty 570 will no longer overclock without not responding.

These cards have been giving me issues since i first got them.

Might just RMA both now

Point taken.

Defence? I'm tired.

Also Cleeecooo has 3 e's. Not 2. L2 spell it

This could be part of the problem

Keep us updated. How did this happen?

Problems started when I upgraded mobo and CPU.

Great. Now either ive removed the working card, or both cards are faulty now:

That's with all drivers installed.

Afterburner isn't recognising the cards. WEI keeps saying that it can't give things a score as either a driver or component keeps screwing up

Test um in your other system.

If they don't work, RMA them both.

Oh yeah!! I'm not used to having a spare system. Didn't think of that :eek:

But i'm still waiting on its PSU, so i'd rather see if i can get this comp up and running first

Cleeecooo I feel like I've adopted a child from certain death by buying your 580 from you

That or I am a VERY lucky guy

Cleeecooo · 4 Jan 2012 at 18:43

ROFL!!!

So far, the only surviving card I've had is my trusty 8800GTX (before it wa replaced thrice)

sulli · 4 Jan 2012 at 18:50

Cleeecooo · 4 Jan 2012 at 18:51

Mobo is brand new

I'll try an old card later today
