I've just sold a GTX 260 on the member's market, and whilst it was fully working on my system, even in SLI on a Corsair HX520W, it doesn't appear to work correctly on the buyer's system. This is a replacement for the 260 that just went skyward recently in his machine. He's running an FSP 500w which has dual rails (18a per rail), so if both rails are used should be enough for the card. Bear in mind he was running an MSI 260 recently, but that may have been the 55nm version, whilst the one I just sold to him was a 260 216 65nm version.
He's getting BSOD when booting up windows (error is something like Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout). If he goes in under VGA mode all seems to be ok, but when he installs drivers and reboots, it BSOD's again.
We'd both rather just get the card working, and he's order a molex connector to try and force it to the 2nd rail (If it isn't using two already on the FSP??).
Been through a few things already, except a reinstall (Not sure whether that's an option for the buyer (he's a member on here however)).
It's possible that somewhere between here and there something went wrong but I know it arrived at my place, and was fully working.
Advice?
