Knoppix killed my video card HELP!!!!!!

Magictoaster_v2 · 06-27-05, 01:26 PM

I was playing aroung in knoppix, the OC version of it anyways, when I loged out and shut down everything looked normal. I pulled the cd out and went to turn my computer back on and I get a message that says "you forgot to plug the power extension cable into you video card consult the getting started manual" or something like that.

I need help imediatly I have already turned off power checked that the cable is infact pluged in and reset the bios. NO LUCK!

Help please

My 9700p does that all the time... my daisy-chain of molexes has some weak connections. Just have to fiddle with it until it comes back. Happens with my HDD's too which is a real pita because I use raid 0.

This has never happened before the solution happend to be: unplug and pray after resting for 2 minutes or so it booted right up. I have never seen anything like this

? Oh well at least it works :P

Last time my comp told me I forgot to plug in the video power cable, it had fried the 5v molex pin.

My NF3 box does that occasionally. I need to unplug and replace the molex on the card a few times. It actually just did it tonight.

Just an unusual hardware problem, Knoppix, or Overclockix as the case may be, is certainly not to blame for the issue.
