dum dum dum another one bites the dust :)
wtf? what happens to them? did you try to mod the cooling and it screwed up or have you just had bad luck and gotten bad cards, i would be really pissed if that happened to me....Quote:

dunno, but looks like ill have to RMA to newegg for another one. Im really afraid it will die too because something in my system is killing it (like PSU) but I have no way to know, so kinda scared to try another.
Really feel for you peen i killed two cards in a week, stuck with my gf4 mxse i got for £12 (gonna volt mod that and fit a tec).
I might get the lowest 3dmark 03 ever.
What Power Supply and Motherboard do you have?Quote:

wow not alot of people. Who's playing with 800xl? I have a feeling charlie's gonna bust in here and kill me. Anyone try 5.7's yet?
I had an X800 XL that was able to beat charlies, I just didn't get a chance to run it in '03 because I needed to give it to someone who bought a X800 XL from newegg through me and the one from newegg came DOA. I needed to give them my really good X800 XL as a replacement.
I'm officially out too, the new X800 XL hasnn't come in from neweggs RMA yet.
has it been a week?
not yet, doesnt it finish on sunday?
Can I use any FM approved drivers or just the ones for my card? The ones for the FX series...are well...horrid. :(

Heatwaves suck, I wish it was winter :)
has anyone thought of the categorys yet?
ARG!!!!!!
ok, about 3 weeks ago I got a new to me 9800pro, it had a few stability issues, but nothing too serious and there was still many things I could try to get it run smoothly. This aslo gave me a chance to Vmod the crap out to my 9600XT and hopefully have a great showing in the grand prix. on the third day (or so) of testing I got a BSOD with the error Driver_IRQ_not_less_or_equal. then my computer restarted. OK, go back to cat 4.12's or some other drivers and problem will be solved right? no, it's still there....hmmmm, Well I'll go back to my 9600XT and research the problem. WRONG same problem. ok on the secondary rig, research shows that it is a memory problem, memtest shows one bad stick, ok, RMA it and run on the good stick right? nope, still there, BIOS flash? still there, ok reformat is needed. oh, yeah, WinXP/2k ISO's are on that computer and it's not stable enough to get them off. OK, so I got a buddy to send me his copy, but it won't be here till monday. And to top it all off, I swaped back to my 9600XT last night in the hopes that I could get one run off ans send it in to stay in the competition. well I broke off a cap off the 9800pro in the process and now 3d looks a kelidascope(sp) and the 9600XT randomly died (the cap nearest to the VGA output heats up to about 10,000 degrees and smells like burning).
so unless I can swap my entry to a 1.3 ghz celeron/512mb PC100/9600se I am out until further notice.
p.s. I am sad :(
ARG!!!!!!!!!! indeed.....
went to reinstall my XP, all of a sudden I can't select any partitions in the installer, I can't boot into windows no more, my old install btw (I just put in my XP CD and rebooted to start installing)
I can't do doodly squad!
Seatools running now still needs an hour to complete. My HDD is recognized by seatools as one with a 80GB partition and a 900GB partition.... File system is all :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed up, ......

Goddammit. Why now, I REALLY AM P I S S E D AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!! :mad: :slapass: :slapass:
setting up my fig for a final assault now using 5.7 cats for the hell of it (core screwed anyway) WERE IS MY RMA ARGH.
