card works fine all the time when the computer is on, but I cant restart it anymore, whenever i do right before i get to the windows logon screen my monitor shows 2 tiny rows of wierd little pixels and will not load up the screen, this appears to be a video card issue... also this happens about 95% of the time, if i reboot the computer about 30+ times one of those times it will start up correctly, now i just go into sleep mode whenever i need a shut down so i wont have to deal with this problem but it prevents me from being able to do a fresh reboot because of the hassle of trying to get the system to start up again.. please help. thanks.

we need your system details really

maybe the motherboard needs a bios update.

what motherboard, PSU, operating system etc are you using?

maybe not the psu then

have you updated the mboards bios?

also one or two people like myself have had trouble booting with some usb devices connected on asus boards... so it could be a wireless or external drive with it being asus

other than that I would run drive sweeper and remove all the nvidia drivers then reinstal them and see if that alters things any.

could be something I7 and board realted but I have not been near one so no idea of thoes possabilities.

does the card make any loud whiney noises. when it hangs?

No the card doesn't make any loud noises, and i have tried starting it when it wasnt booting correctly without any usb devices attached and it still had problems.. its super frusterating because i could use a fresh reboot with all the rendering i do but i cant because if i do i basically have to section off a couple hours just to keep restarting the comp until it finally starts up correctly which does happen eventually... any other suggestions would be nice , im doing to do the motherboard update like u suggested too ... thanks

check the system memory voltage.
also out of curiosity try booting with the c2e and other energy features off, and see if it makes it or not.

maybe either a some driver issue on the system or a dislike with the hardware combination.

doesnt sound like the cards about to die.

Your card is dieing, you have to RMA it.

Mine did the exact same thing.

You can carry on like that, then you will start to notice physx errors and such, and soon enough, your card will not start anymore. I played that game for a month and a half on 3 different mobos. R.I.P.

Im hopeing to get a single pcb 295 this time around, but i doubt it

I bought my GTX280 used on here, and added an aftermarket HS. The BIOS is modded extensively, and the card is OC'd per my sig. It's still running great!

Evga is good with warranties. Contact them for help.
