    Issues with Graphics Card (freezing and crashing)

    I'm RMAing the card today, claiming there is a problem. I believe its a problem with a hardware, since there is no fixes, even if its just them tweaking the bios. They SHOULD be able to fix the card.

    Issues with Graphics Card (freezing and crashing)

    This would involve throwing more money at the problem by buying vista and upgrading. Also some time clean installing, installing and reinstalling. Theres no way to complete this in Win 7? Also how does that fix the VGA? It only configs the ram and cpu, and I've had no real problems with those...

    Issues with Graphics Card (freezing and crashing)

    Possibility that this card is overclocked ect crashing? I don't want to RMA it to have it come straight back. Will it void my warranty if I try to tinker with it with rivatuner?

I am however using this computer to type this right now, no problems.(2d applications seem safe) I have used ATI TOOL, Speedfan, CPUID, 3D marks to attempt to diagnosis the issue to the...

    Defective 4890 (failed twice) Go ATI or NVIDIA? Can I RMA?

    No i have not tried it on another person's system, No accessibility. My card does have two PCI power connectors attached so it is not a power issue. None of the LEDs are lit (besides when the computer starts up of course) The card fails clock tests, it passed mark 3d test with 11000 marks but...

    Corsairs 750W and CPUID hardware monitor acting funny?

    CPUID lists my +12V running at 11.99 ( understandable) but lists my +3.3V running at +3.39? Is this something to be worried about or is it just me overreacting :O What do these numbers mean? 12V of course is a 12 amp rail but whats the other :$

    Dangerous to Keep running a defective card?

    I know my ATI 4890 is defective, however, I would like to know if it will still run until i get it repaired by asus. I still need it currently. It is running at standard temperatures however, its memory is apparently defective because i get BSODs when running more graphically intense programs...

    Defective 4890 (failed twice) Go ATI or NVIDIA? Can I RMA?

    i might get a 5XXX, but No way I could afford 5850, would require me wait numerous months :$, a 5770 is comparable in price but its only 128 bit. I won't be overclocking excessively. Would a nvidia card be more cost effective or just stay ATI 4890? or a 4870?

    First Rig, 1K budget game rig, need some help, compatibility check!

    Sorry, but might seem as a dumb question. I'm sorta new to this. If i install a ati 5870, later a card with direct 11 support, and crossfire it with the 4870 would that work lol? Sorry if it seems dumb My build is the same as stated above except i changed it to a Asus P577D EVO board...
