I have a T3256, AMD 3200+, 1 gig samsung pc3200, updated bios (TCB432L) to ajust those all important settings that nither EMachines or FIC wanted to support. I uninstalled the nvidia display drivers and tried to disable the onboard video in windows aswell as in the bios (orginally set to pci by default still don't understand when the other setting is agp/onboard seems like that would of been the right setting) After i instaled the 9800 w/ omega ati drivers things where great for a month or so and then yesterday i turn on my cpu and i have vertical lines and tons of artifacts. I haven't tried to overclock that card becaseu i haven't had any games that need it so I went back to bios and though i could barly read anything i defaulted all the settings to see if that would help nothing!! I finally got it into windows after much turning itself on and off and was able to turn the hardware accelerator off but still get vertical lines. So i took my 9600 out of my other computer and though not as bad i had vertical lines (yes i unistalled all the ati drivers with drive cleaner and unistall utility) I have used both ATI and Omega drivers with no success I am lost on what happend and what to do loseing 2 cards Any ideas or suggestions? |

Did you try unplugging, then replugging the monitor cable? What's the case temperature? Do you have a different monitor you could try on your system? Could you install the Radeons in any other system to see if they're still working and haven't been damaged by a bad MOBO, or PSU?

Sounds like a problem w/ your monitor or cable, not your video cards. Try a different monitor or cable and see if that helps. Could also be an issue w/ interference, although vertical lines suggest a digital problem, not an analog one. Are you using an LCD? Could be that the inverter or some other circuitry is going on you. |
