Well for the last few weeks I've been having terrible problems with my Leadtek WinFast PX 6800 GT card, with it in my system, from power up, nothing happens, it takes about 10 - 15 power ups of the system before the card will display anything on screeen. Once the card powers up it's stable and will run for hours upon hours at a time, not once does it glitch or artifact or anything.
Thinking that it was my motherboard I put my XFX 6800 GT card in, and that runs fine first time. Have just tried the Leadtek card in another half built Athlon 64 system and it powered up first time, so I am now wondering if the problem is something to do with a compatability issue with my motherboard (Gigabyte GAK8N SLI Pro) Which I have flashed to the latest Bios (F9) CPU on this board is an X2 3800 running at stock speeds and 2 Gigs of ram.
I also thought it could be a power supply issue, but as the PSU is a 480 watt xilence power unit and runs my XFX card without any issue and that the other PC I tried the leadtek in was just a cheap and cheerful 300 watt one leaves me to rule that possibility out.
It obvious the card is not faulty because it works fine in the other PC, so any suggestions ??
Just been out and triedit again in the other PC, same problem with that, so just a case of RMAing it to Leadtek now.
