picked up an HIS 6870 1gb yesterday for £10 it was Down as not working for anything but bios, so I connected it earlier along with the dual 6 pin and it worked fine, okay blank screen after post screen, but had that the first time with the 5770 I had, so after restart it loaded and I was on windows with no issues to report, okay this was hdmi so don’t know about the other ports..
Anyways windows did that Automatic driver install whenever new hardware gets added and after the restart I started to see issues, it was scrambled lines with ruler width gaps inbetween, but able to see the password bit, however after pressing enter it was just the pale background of win 7 Login screen, after couple restarts it kept showing the same background or the cursor etc going white, basically making it useless.
For a tenner I wanted the gamble as I’ve seen this card selling for double or triple what I paid, but I have recently taken the cooler off, removed all the paste that looked fresh from ease of removal, but cream colour only to find out I’ve run out of thermal paste doh, so before I go buy some more, I am curious as to what will likely be a cause for the issues?
