HI

I have recetnly prchased a radeon z1950, i am gettin white suares appearing on my screen, and they are gettin worse and more consistant, i have tested my ram, no errors on mem test, ive checked the contact on the card and slot and they are clean and dust free,

i have updated the driver to no evail and this white square problem was appearing on the mem test screen which shouldnt really stress the card

could this be a heat problem, ive seen atifacts b4 but not like this, should i RMA the card?

Thanks Guys
 
is you're power supply up to handling the card, 12v needs around 25A on it.

if anything is ok, the connectors are solidly attached etc then i'd rma it.
 
The power supply is 600w

all conncetors are fine and has been working fine with games etc for a couple of weeks, i think i will RMA it

Thank again
 
I would try setting your PCI-E bus to either 99mhz or 101mhz (and even 109/110) (try 101 first).

Solves many problems with gfx :)

Try it anyway... but just noticed you say it's been working ok for several weeks.
