I recently ordered a leadtek ti4400 card from newegg and did some other upgrading to my computer as well:
Abit Be-6 II >> Soyo kt400 dragon unlra platinum
Celeron 700@1103mhz >> AgoiaY2013 1600+ @ 166 fsb
Gainward Geforce2 mx400 >> leadtek ti4400
I installed the ti4400 and at first it worked great. I also bought the game Earth and Beyond the same day, and ran the game at 1600x1200x32 and played for like 2 hours before it crashed to the desktop. I then left 3dmark2k1 looping overnight to make sure that my system was stable running at 166fsb(at defualt voltage, and all mem settings at default).
The videocard had NOT been overclocked yet, as I am still testing system stability.
I booted up the computer this morning, and found that 3dmark had crashed to the desktop. I went to go try and shutdown but the system was hardlocked. I rebooted and when the computer tried to post all i saw was a whole bunch of multicolored vertical lines.
I tested the video card in 2 other computers same thing, i tested the card with different monitors and the same thing still occurred.
My questions:
1. Is the card dead or is there something I can do ?
2. If it is dead should I rma it to Leadtek or Newegg ?
3. Newegg no longer has the prodcut in stock, if I do get to choose a different card, any recommendations?
Thanks for the help
