Hello pals, me from INDIA and very unhappy with 8800GT, reason below.
Ma configuration -
1. Intel E6850 @ 3.6GHz 1.325v BIOS, 1.288v LOAD under Orthos, Ultima 90i + Glacialtech 120mm FAN, IDLE temp 28C, LOAD 52C
2. Abit IP35-E Motherboard BIOS 16
3. Transcend Value 667MHz RAM @ 800MHz 4-4-4-15 2T 2.1v, 9hrs Memtest PASS
4. EVGA 8800GT Standard Edition, 66% FAN SPEED, IDLE 33C LOAD 68C (Server cabby with fans, fans and more fans)
5. Cooler Master Extreme 600W, 18A+18A, I hate this, voltages keep flactuating, I wasnt sure that this SMPS was tested @ 25C in LAB, XXXX 40C is normal cabby temp, So effeciency will drop further, 70% is advertised. I think its 400W real, +12v is 11.73 @ IDLE and 11.36 @ LOAD :down: . Its loud too.
Problem I m facing is blank screens (no signal) or Magenta color screen. my monitor acts like there isnt a video source. It happens in windows (surfing, gaming) and BIOS too.
I even formatted ma Windows XP with SP3, now using Windows XP SP2, tried different video driver versions (169.28 to 174.20). Tried checking with no overclock too (both CPU and GPU). I dont think its windows issue coz once it happened in BIOS too.
What do U guys think, I m very frustrated now, tried everything. MA GPU dying?? or?? Sometimes when I listen to music I get blank screen, but audio continues.
Its not cable/plug etc, it suddenly started to behave abnormal. Now PCIe clock is set @ 110MHz, games everything work fine, no issue, I sometimes get flactuations (flickers) on screen.
If I set PCIe back to 100MHz, magenta/blank screens come back, my monitor acts like there isnt a video source.
I really miss ma mATX mobo with onboard GPU days. :mad:
Should I RMA ma GPU?? I will have to wait coz this GPU is purchased from US.
TIA. :)
